In April of each year we hold mass evaluations for all players that are registered. This allows the league to fairly balance the teams when team drafts are held in the attempt to create as equal a level of competition as possible across all house league teams within a division. You can view or download this attached PDF file listing the dates, times and locations of all mass practice sessions.
