We are so excited that we are getting closer to the start of our 2026 Spring season, and can’t wait to see you all as we start our preparations for the season with our Player Evaluations. 

For those of you who are new to Gig Harbor Little League, we want to clarify that Player Evaluations are not a tryout - everyone makes the team in Little League. Player Evaluations are simply an opportunity for our coaches to observe the kids in action hitting and fielding, and then use those evaluations to draft fair and competitive teams for the season. 

More information about Player Evaluations and a schedule for the day is included below. 

See you on the field!

GHLL Board of Directors

2026 GHLL Player Evaluation Information

Date: Saturday February 7th, 2026

Player Evaluations for our Minors AA, Minors AAA and Majors Baseball divisions and our Minors AA, Minors AAA and Majors Softball divisions are scheduled rain or shine. 

Make-up evaluations are scheduled for the evening of Monday, February 9th. 

NOTE: Due to limited space during the makeup sessions, we ask that all players show up for their scheduled time slot on Saturday the 7th if possible. If you cannot attend your scheduled time on Saturday, but can attend at another time that day, that’s fine, and you do not need to let us know, just show up at the alternate time. 

*There are NO evaluations for Teeball, Quickball or the Coach Pitch (A) Baseball and Softball divisions

*Evaluations for Upper Division Baseball (Intermediates, Juniors and Seniors) - date and time TBD 

Location:  

Evaluations will be held at the Gig Harbor High School Turf Fields: 5101 Rosedale St NW, Gig Harbor. 

There will only be one available entrance for check-in, near the Main Gate to the fields at GHHS. You will not be able to access the fields from the entrance by Pioneer Elementary, players must check in and enter the fields via the Main Gate. Recommended parking is at either the high school or Discovery Elementary.

Evaluation Day Protocols:

No player, coach, volunteer or parent that is sick should attend Evaluations. Please stay home regardless of what is causing your illness.

All Parents must CHECK IN with their child 15 minutes prior to their evaluation session! 

All players should bring their own equipment - a glove, bat, helmet, water bottle (nothing but water allowed on the field) and comfortable layered clothing. Catchers, bring your gear!

Evaluations will be held rain or shine, and it can get windy at the turf fields, so please have your player dress weather appropriately. 

Only GHLL Players, Coaches, Board Members and Evaluation Volunteers are allowed on the field - we will have volunteers available to help players who have questions about where to go or what to do. If you need to assist your child to the entrance gate, that is ok but then please exit the field area immediately.

You are welcome to stay and observe evaluations, but please do so along the perimeter fence. Please do not congregate around the check in areas or by the entrance gates.

Used Gear Sale: The used tee ball, baseball and softball gear we collected will be on sale during Player Evaluations from 9:00am until 3:30pm. We will be taking cash or checks only.

Notes:

All players must attend Player Evaluations to be eligible to be drafted to any team. If any player does not attend player evaluations, that player shall not be eligible for the standard draft and will instead become part of the “hat pick” round of the draft. 

Any player who does not attend Player Evaluations also forfeits the ability to be “drafted up” to a higher division. Managers’ and coaches’ children, as well as brother and sister option players, are required to go through evaluations just like any other player.

Any player who does not attend Player Evaluations may not be eligible for the All Stars team. 

All Registration fees must be paid in full for a player to be able to participate in Evaluations.
