• Pitchers will warm up to an adult or each other while catchers are being evaluated. Pitchers will be evaluated after catchers by throwing 12-15 pitches to an adult catcher calling out their types of pitches for the evaluators and coaches to see.

Skills Evaluated

Check back to see the updated showcase style tryout agenda soon!

Following tryout evaluations:

After the showcase is completed each evening, the selection process will begin.

There will be no rankings of players and lists of specific players to choose from given to coaches as has been done in the past.

Each coach will be able to select their roster from the full grouping of eligible players from that group.

Coaches will have been announced prior to the showcase and once complete, the first coach will be able to immediately submit her/his roster to the Executive Board for approval.

Once the roster is approved, coaches will have a 24-hours to reach out to players and players will have 24 hours to respond to the coach. It is our goal to move the selection process quickly to ensure that parties are not left unsure about what is happening.

We will continue to move through coaches and the eligible players until each division is completed.

Additional information will be posted to the WDM Girls Softball website and our Facebook Page as it becomes available.
