Majors Tryouts 2012 - March 17th and March 18th at Frozen Ropes of Albany
Baseball 1-2PM, Softball 2:30-3:30PM
Each candidate will be given opportunity to 1) bat, 2) field fly balls, 3) field ground balls, 4) throw, and 5) run. Players wishing to be evaluated as pitchers and catchers will be given opportunity to pitch and to catch. Catchers will bring personal catching equipment or use generic league catching gear provided at tryouts. All players should come in comfortable athletic clothing, have suitable running or gym type shoes (no cleats), a fielding glove and a bat (bats will be provided to any candidate who needs one).
Each manager will grade the candidates for their own reference for use during draft; a list of all candidates sorted by age and then by last name will be provided to the managers and player agent. Player names will be announced during tryouts to alleviate issues with familiarity with names. Managers must not select more than eight players in a given age group. Players shall never be told of the position in which they were drafted.
Draft
Monday, March 19th Knox Town Hall.
Softball 6:30 PM, Baseball 7:00 PM
Following a thorough tryout, managers will draw numbers to determine draft order.
All eligible 12 year olds will be drafted first, followed by eligible 11 year olds, 10 year olds, and 9 year olds, etc. No 10 year olds shall be placed on a roster until all eligible 12 and 11 year olds are given a roster spot. No 9 year olds shall be placed on a roster until all eligible 10 year olds are given a roster spot.Options
These are special conditions and must be claimed before draft commences.
1) Sons/Daughters of Managers
If a manager has a son/daughter in the draft and wishes to draft them, he/she must specify prior to draft commencing. That son/daughter must be drafted by round 3 if age 12, round 4 if age 11, or round 5 if age 9-10.
2) Brother/Sister in Draft (Sibling Option)
If one sibling is drafted by a manager, that manager automatically has an option of drafting the sibling on next turn. Failure to draft in next round releases that player to other managers.
All players must be present at 50% of tryouts but are encouraged to attend 100%.
MANDATORY BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR VOLUNTEERS
Once again for the 2012 season BKWLL is required to conduct background checks of Managers, Coaches, Board of Director Members and any other persons, volunteers or hired workers, who provide regular service to the league and/or have repetitive access to, or contact with, players or teams. See the "LL Forms" page for a copy of the volunteer form that must be completed. Please note SSN is required for 2012.

Hard work works!
The BKW Little League is seeking donations primarily to be used for a new pitching machine for our girls softball program. We have chosen the JUGS Jr. machine due to it's versatility, mobility, and the option to swap between softball and baseball:
