If you miss tryouts in your age group, your name will be placed in a hat and you will be selected in a random draw. Coach Pitch, Minor and Major league head coaches get their son and assistant coaches and their son then they will choose the team in draft order. All kids not present at tryouts will go in a hat and be picked out in draft order. 

If teams are not full after the draft, players will be assigned as they sign up. If rosters are full at 12 players, the league will not overload rosters.
