All children in the PPBA program must attend a Evaluation Day to be drafted onto a team.  The players are required to field a few gound balls in the infield; a few fly balls in the outfield; then go to our hitting field to take some swings against a pitching machine.Your time at the tryout is a product of when you start the process and how many players are in front of you.

 This day gives the Board of Directors and Division Heads within the league an opportunity to better evaluate each player's baseball skills and abilities prior to the draft. If you completed your entire tryout for your age group, you do not have to tryout again.Please check the calendar below for the evaulation dates and times..

Please read the following important message:
The PPBA board would like every child to have the opportunity to play baseball in our league.  However, the realty is that there are certain field limitations, time constraints and players safety concerns, which just do not make this possible. 

The PPBA is faced with certain realities we just can't change 1) field space and permitting access to city parks and recreation.  Given our space limitations (which only allow us 4 baseball diamonds) and our need to share our Field of Dreams with the L.A.City Parks and Recreation Department, we have to limit the maximum number of divisions in the lower league to 3 and the maximum number of teams to 8 and we must limit the number of players on each team. So, from Bronco, Mustang, and Pinto divisions we can field a maximum of 24 teams. 2) Children’s safety; the safety of every child comes first at the PPBA.  The reality is not every child’s abilities at this time in his or her development allows them to be ready to safely play Baseball.  This fact is extremely important to the Board of PPBA.  Therefore, for these two main reasons, not every child who registers for the PPBA will be placed on a team. If your child is not placed on a team after the player draft, you will be given a full refund, less any late charge.
