WHAT IS SKILL EVALUATION: Skills Evaluation results are used by Issaquah Little League to help the Managers draft balanced teams at the AAA, Coast and Majors level. Skills Evaluation results are also used to
determine any pending Petition to Play Up or Down, based on our Petition Policy. Around 300
players will be evaluated at 5 different skills stations by 16 Evaluators including: Pitching, Hitting, Infield, Outfield and Speed. Each player will receive a total of 22 scores which are weighted
to create an overall composite score for the player. These scores are used to rank players and prepare draft information to help the Managers draft balanced teams. The scores are kept completely
confidential and players will not be told their scores or final results.
Players should do their best at each station to allow a fair evaluation heading into the draft.
MANAGERS: Managers for the Competitive Divisions will be allowed to observe the session with one adult (Coach). Anyone attending must complete the
Little League Background Check prior to being allowed inside the Evaluation area. To do this, register
online. This registration process includes the volunteer application form with instructions. NO EXCEPTIONS! You must Check-In and receive their ID badge before being
allowed inside the Skills Evaluation session.
