We at ELL are here for the children and the children only.

· We require all of our 9 to 12 year old applicants not on a Major League team to attend our try-outs.

· We evaluate all the players on fielding, throwing, and hitting.

· All 10, 11, and 12 year old applicants will be eligible for the Major League draft.

· Any player ages 10 and 11 that doesn’t try-out or chooses to stay in the Minor League will not be able to return to the same team or coach from the previous season.

· All 9yr. old applicants will have the option to be eligible for the Major League draft. Parents are asked if they would like their child to be eligible.

· All players that are not drafted to the Majors will be drafted onto a Minor League team.

· Minor League players may be brought up to the Major Leagues during the season, if that Major League team loses a player for the season.

Exceptions are if a parent wants their 12yr. old child to stay in the minors a wavier form must be filled out and approved by the Local Board and the District Administrator.
