As we gear up for another exciting season at Coles Little League we need to start with our Player Evaluations for the Minor Player-Pitch and Majors divisions. These evaluations help us ensure balanced teams and a fun, competitive season for all players. These evaluations are also used to assess the players skill level - regardless of what it may be. We need to make sure that the division they are registered for is the right fit for them too. This is not a tryout, and no one will be "cut".
All players registered in these divisions MUST attend ONE of the scheduled evaluation sessions. Please select your desired evaluation date and the designated time slot based on your child's Little League age and desired division. Refer to the chart if unsure about league age 2026-baseball-age-chart - this may be different than their actual age, so please double check if you are unsure. If the date you need is full or your designated time slot doesn't work, please reach out to Ashley Edwards, Player Agent to coordinate an alternate time slot.

Evaluation Location: Benton Turf Field, Benton MS (Player Evaluation Map for Benton MS)
Player Check-in will begin 30 minutes before your scheduled time slot. Please arrive early because groups will begin warmups 15 minutes before their scheduled time.
Here is an example: Paul Smith. D.O.B. 12 June 2015, registered for Majors and would like to be evaluated on Saturday 7 March. He is Little League Age 11.
Therefore, his timeslot would be: 03/07/26 Majors LL Age 10 and 11 - 10:15am.
All players should bring their glove, bat, and helmet to the evaluations. The evaluations are taking place on a Turf field, so no METAL cleats are allowed (sneakers and molded cleats are fine). Catchers may bring their own gear if they would like to be evaluated as a catcher, however, we will have catcher's gear available. (Not all players have to catch). We are assuming it will still be cool so please have your player dress accordingly. Bring a drink!
If you have any questions, please email Ashley Edwards, Player Agent and we look forward to seeing you all at the evaluations.
