If a player is unable to attend the evaluations, they will still be drafted to a team at the end in draft order by age and alphabetically. Please make sure your player is dressed for the weather and, if possible, in baseball pants and a hat. Also have them bring their bat, glove, a drink, sunscreen, etc.

Draft Details
FOR COACHES
THIS IS ONLY FOR THE COACHES TO ATTEND. PARENTS AND PLAYERS DO NOT ATTEND.
Draft Format
- A coach can protect up to 6 players. This does include the coach(s) kids. IF PROTECTING YOUR CHILD, YOU STILL NEED TO COMPLETE THIS PROCESS.
- Complete your online coaches’ registration, which includes a section to list your protected players. Make sure the spelling of the first and last names matches what is listed on their birth certificate.
- If you do not know your protected players at the time of registration or if they have changed, email your protected players before the evaluations to softball@kidsinc.org.
- Make sure they are committed to your team before putting them on the protected list. Make sure ALL your protected players get registered by their parents by the registration deadline.
- Players will not be allowed on a coach’s protected players list unless they are registered online.
Players who do not evaluate will be picked last and in the draft order to help prevent coaches from picking players they know are more talented than others don’t know.
