Registration is now open for the Old Rochester Little League major and minor league tryouts and evaluations for the 2015 season.

Parents are encouraged to registers their children early. To register, visit the league website at orll.net and click on the pink box under the masthead. The league will hold winter hitting sessions at The Cage in Marion for all 9 to 12 year olds, which will start prior to December. Only players registered for the 2015 season will be able to participate in the winter hitting sessions.

Old Rochester Little League will hold major and minor league tryouts/evaluations for the 2015 Season. This evaluation is for players looking to move up to minors from AAA or up to majors from minors.

Players who played on an ORLL majors team in 2014 don’t need to attend the evaluation. Players who wish to stay in the minors after playing in the ORLL minors in 2014 don’t need to attend the minors evaluations.

If a child was a call-up at some point during the season, they will need to attend these tryouts/evaluations. Any player who will be 12 for the 2015 season but did not play in the majors in 2014, will play in majors (Mandatory 12s), but they must be evaluated on Aug. 23 to ensure proper team placement. (Mandatory 12 yr. old players are those players who turn 12 by April 30, 2015 and did not play in the majors in 2014.)

The majors evaluation will be Saturday, Aug. 23 at Dexter Lane in Rochester on field 3 at 6 p.m. Eligible players for the majors include children who are 9 to 12 years old as of April 30, 2015. If a child is interested in playing in ORLL at the major league level they must attend the tryout/evaluation. If they cannot attend, they should go to the minors evaluation on Aug. 30 and contact ORLL President Derek Mello at southeastmaumpires@gmail.com.

The minors evaluation is Saturday, Aug. 30 at Dexter Lane in Rochester on field 3 at 6 p.m. Eligible players for the minors include children who are 8 to 11 years old as of April 30, 2015. Children must attend the tryout/evaluation. If a child cannot attend, contact ORLL President Derek Mello at southeastmaumpires@gmail.com.

All players should come ready to play with cleats, a baseball hat and a baseball glove. They should also bring their batting helmet and bat if they have their own. Helmets and bats will be provided for those that need them.

Failure to attend one of these tryouts could impact where a child plays in the 2015 baseball season. Email the ORLL League President at southeastmaumpires@gmail.com for any questions.
