Player assessments are RVLL's annual evaluation day of players skill sets. This is for players 9 years old and up. (Some 8 year olds) The goal of RVLL's regular season is to create as many equally skilled teams as possible so there is a competitive balance throughout the divisions. Team manager will evaluate each kid on a number of skills performed on assessments day and then draft those players accordingly.

Players who are league age 8, this is a tryout. You may or may not be drafted into the farms division. The assessments day is where players league age 8 can show their skill set and be drafted up into farms. Players 9 and up will be drafted into farms, minors or majors depending on age range.
