To Little League Families:

This is a reminder that Alexandria Little League tryouts will be held on Sunday, February 12 from 1 - 5pm at the Episcopal High School Field House. If at all possible, please attend this first session so that the league has an early idea of how many players we have for the spring season.
If you are unable to attend February 12, there will be a second tryout session Saturday, February 18 from 7 – 9:30pm at the Episcopal High School Field House.

If your child is already on a Majors team from the Spring 2011 season, they do not need to attend the tryouts.

The tryouts will be held indoors at the Episcopal High School Field House.  The purpose of the tryouts is to evaluate players for the purposes of the Little League draft, which is intended to create balanced teams in our Majors and AAA divisions.

At the tryouts, the players will field fly balls and ground balls, make throws, hit machine-pitched balls, be timed in a short sprint, and have the opportunity to pitch. Players should wear tennis shoes, and bring with them equipment such as a baseball mitt and bat.  You can plan on the tryout process lasting more or less an hour, depending on the number of players at any one time. 

The Little League rules require that 12-year olds play in the Majors division (absent a parental waiver), and therefore it is particularly important that 12-year olds attend the tryout.  The 11 and 10-year old players who have registered for the Majors and AAA divisions can be drafted into either of these divisions.  In order to be drafted into the Majors division, the 11 and 10-year olds players must attend the tryout. Please keep in mind, however, that not all of these players will be drafted into Majors.  10-year olds generally play in the AAA division although exceptional 10-year olds may play in the Majors.

Any 9-year old who has registered for the AAA division needs to attend the tryout.  A 9-year old who does not try out will be placed in the AA division.

If your child is already on a Majors team from the Spring 2011 season, they do not need to attend the tryouts.

You can access the Episcopal HS field house from the Braddock Road entrance to the high school (heading west on Braddock, it is the second entrance on the left, the entrance with the small guardhouse.  The Fieldhouse is just past the Guardhouse on the left.

If you have any questions about the tryouts, please email the Alexandria Little League Player Agent, John Ray, at jray@totalenvironmental.net.

On Saturday, February 18th Ripken Baseball will be conducting a coaching clinic at Langley High School in McLean, VA. The clinic is being given by Cal and Billy Ripken along with former Oriole pitcher John Habyan. It is a 6 hour affair with lunch provided; check-in starts at 9am. I attended this clinic a couple of years back and found it extremely informative as well as very entertaining. Registration for the clinic
is $99/coach but if we can put together a group of 5 or more the cost drops to $75/coach. If you would be interested in attending please contact
Rusty Rhodes at rrhodes@ieee.org

This event sells out fast so act now.
