Spring & Summer Programs

LITTLE LEAGUE SOFTBALL (4-12 yr olds)

Showcase Day - Sat, Mar 13 (8-12 Yr Olds)

In order to form evenly skilled teams, ZLL evaluates skill levels at our “Showcase Day”, along with using ratings given to each player by their coaches from previous seasons (if your child is in his first season playing Little League, the “Showcase Day” will be used as the baseline for his skill set). “Showcase Day” involves coaches leading all participants through a series of drills while volunteer coaches and ZLL Board members evaluate skill sets to ensure teams are formed as evenly skilled as possible. This IS NOT a tryout, as everyone gets placed on a team and plays! 

Team Formation Process:

• Rookie, T-League, Single A, and Minors teams are put together by the ZLL Board
• Majors teams are put together during a Draft where coaches select their team
• For full details on the process of placing players on teams, Click Here
• Parents also have some options on determining what division their child plays in. For details, check out our Divisions Waivers Page
• Requests to play on the same team as a sibling will be granted unless the skill gap between players is large enough to pose a safety concern
• Requests to play for a certain coach or play on the same team as a friend or other non-sibling relative cannot be granted
