All decisions are final.  The player asking to be evaluated must come to the age group evaluation at the times set for JCC.  The six year olds will be evaluated at the Minor Divisions evaluations.

Each player will need to participate in the fund raiser and provide a grey pair of baseball pants.  If the pants have belt loops, the player must have a belt. Jerseys, hats and socks will be provided by the League; as well as team equipment and baseballs.
