All Junior (League Age 13 & 14) players must attend a Player Evaluation (Try Outs) in order to be eligible for the draft. 

The Evaluation consists of batting, fielding grounders & fly balls and throwing. All players should come ready to play. That means bring your glove, bat, helmet, cleats and hat! Dress like you would for a game without the jersey. Please arrive 30 minutes early for your player to get checked in and warmed up before their evaluation.

There are no player evaluations for the Seniors Division.

A player who lives in the boundaries for San Carlos, Mission Trails, Allied Gardens, Lake Murray, La Mesa National and Rolando is eligible to play in the Patriot League. Any player who moves out of a league's boundary area can still play for that league as long as their play is continuous (they can't play a season with one league, then the next in a different one, then go back to the first one). Our Player Agent is happy to field any eligiblity questions. To search for and confirm your "parent" league, please use this interactive Google map: http://goo.gl/maps/ZPglL

Download Clinic Flyer: Big Al's Clinic Flyer

District 33 is proud to host the 2013 "Big Al" Coaching Clinic featuring Al Price and his son Scott. Al's teaching philosophy comes from decades of experience he has culminated over the years into this comprehensive, easy-to-follow approach to learning the fundamentals of baseball, softball and tee ball. Scott, (Al’s son) will assist at the clinic and brings a fresh new perspective to the training after playing college baseball in Texas and graduating with his Kinisiology and Teaching degree.

Each component of the program ties together principles of learning that have proven effective time and time again. Al and Scott have distilled their knowledge in a way that makes it easy for kids, parents and coaches to learn. Here's how he does it, in a nutshell: All the fundamental skills are clearly identified. Each skill is broken down into a series of simple, straight forward steps presented in a learnable progression. Skills are presented in a creative and motivating manner that is easy for anyone from the novice to the more experienced to follow. Above all, he never forgets that the game is supposed to be active - and fun. Big Al's Teach it – Try It – Game It approach has helped both new and experienced coaches build Little League teams with a solid foundation of basic skills.

Take advantage of this great, well-planned program: do it for the kids! Al and Scott have developed a complete series of instructional resources that match the clinic instruction.  The resources were reviewed and approved by Little League International in the spring of 2010.  To learn more about the resources and to order online please go to www.bigalbaseball.com.  The resources will also be available for purchase at the clinic sessions.

District 33 - This is a free clinic to everyone in District 33. You can register by clicking on the link next to the clinic discription or at the door for each clinic. We are asking for all members of our local leagues board of directors that have not attended a coach’s clinic to please attend this one. D33 requires that all managers and coaches attend both a coaches and a safety clinic every 3 years. Every team must have a coach that has attended a coaches and a safety clinic in 2013 in order to participate in our TOC. These clinics fulfill the D33 coaches’ clinic requirement. Parents are welcome to attend as well.
Districts 31, 32, 41, 42, 66 and other neighboring Districts - Please pre-register online at http://www.bigalbaseball.com/clinics. All individuals coaches from outside D33 can also register at the door.

All participants should wear sneakers and bring a glove (if possible). This is a hands on clinic, but not physically hard. All adults are welcome whether they have a glove or not!  If you have any questions, please contact Ned Kern at bigpapakern@yahoo.com
