This Saturday, Jan. 27 (rain-out date Jan. 28) is the last chance for players wanting to play in the Baseball Divisions (Majors, AAA, AA, and A) for ages 12-7 for the 2018 season to evaluate.

Player Evaluations will be held at the Alameda Little League fields at Grand Street and Otis Drive behind Wood Middle school. Evaluations are required for all baseball divisions. No player may be drafted into Majors without being evaluated. Again, players who are eligible to play in Majors MUST be evaluated. Farm and T-Ball players do not need to evaluate. Players should arrive to sign in and do warm ups at least 30 minutes prior to their group's assigned start time. The sign in table will be in the walk way between the Major and Minor fields. A player's evaluation group is based on age. Below is the schedule based on LEAGUE AGE.

Please use the 2018 AGE CHART to determine age and attend the correct time.

During rainy weather, please respect the "Fields Closed" signs on ARPD fields. We know everone is eager to play, but please respect field closures. You can call the ARPD hotline at 510-747-7540 after 2:00pm to check field status.

Estuary Park at 200 Mosley Ave will be dedicated Saturday, January 20th at noon. Alameda Little League helped build the park. This will be the new home of our Challenger Division.

ARPD will be hosting a ribbon cutting ceremony followed by a two inning demonstration game as Alameda's Challenger Division hosts a team from Concord/Clayton. Last year's Intermediate Division District Champions will act as budies helping the Challenger players play the game. This field is ideal for Challenger because of it being a turf field. ARPD will be will be providing free hot dogs, popcorn and pennants.
