Volunteers Needed for Evaluation Day - Sunday 2/28

In an effort to make this Sunday’s evaluations process easy and fast for our players, we are seeking volunteers to help organize the players as they arrive and wait for their turn on the field. 2-3 volunteers are needed for each session to ensure the process runs smoothly.
 
Please contact volunteer coordinator, Cheryl LaRosa, with your availability by 4:00 pm Saturday 2/27. Indicate your name and the session(s) you are willing to help with (ex: Major, A-K or Major 10:00-12:00). Plan to arrive approximately 15 minutes before your scheduled time and check in with Cheryl.
 
As a reminder, each family is required to volunteer at least 2 hours during the season. Why not get some or all of it done before the season even starts? If you are already planning to attend evaluations with your player, this is a great way to help out while you are at the field.
 
Thank you for supporting Northside!

Player Evaluation Day Details!

Thank you all for your patience. With the favorable forecast of sun and warm temperatures we’ve opted to hold evaluations outside this year on Carson Raymond Field, located adjacent to Sutherland Middle School.
We conduct evaluations in an effort to build balanced teams and need accurate data to accomplish this goal. This is a mandatory event for all Junior Rookie, Rookie, Minor, and Major Players! Please make every effort to attend at your designated time. If you cannot make your assigned time, please contact us so that we can be prepared to handle the change on evaluation day.
Players should show up at least 15 minutes prior to their scheduled time to warm up and lineup.
Although not mandatory, players are encouraged to wear cleats. They will also need a bat and glove and we encourage everyone to bring a water bottle.

Player Evaluation Day Information - Sunday, February 28th

Attention Northside Families! Player evaluations for Jr Rookie, Rookie, Minor and Major divisions will be held this Sunday. Evaluations are MANDATORY for any child playing in any of these divisions. In years past, we've scheduled for outdoors and then scrambled to move inside when the weather failed us. This year, we've planned for the opposite and are still hoping for favorable weather. We have TWO plans to cover both scenarios, and will be keeping a careful eye on the weather and forecast. We hope to have a final decision by this Wednesday, February 24th. Here are the two contingencies so you can start to plan.
If the current forecast holds and we have sunny weather, with temps in the 50 degree range, we will hold evaluations out on the fields at Hollymead from 10am-3pm.
10am-1130: Majors
1130-1pm - Minors
1-2pm - Jr. Rookie
2-3pm - Rookie
If the weather forecast for 28 Feb should change, and it is too cold or wet outside, we will be holding evaluations indoors at the Sutherland Gym from 3-8pm.
3-4pm - Rookie
4-5pm - Jr. Rookie
5-630pm - Minors
630-8pm - Majors
More detailed information will be available later this week. See you Sunday!
