The Junior Division consists of players ages 13 - 14. This is a
competitive division that keeps score, division standings, a double
elimination post season tournament and an All-Star team. This is a
player pitch division. In the junior division ALL players must go
through a Mandatory Player Evaluation process, except for the
coach's daughter and one assistant coach's daughter. A draft process
is used by the coaches in this division. All girls will be placed on
a team. All Players will be placed on a team. No players in this age group can play in a lower division. A
12 year old player's parents can request that a player be moved up
to this division. The 12 year old must be evaluated by the league
President, Major's Director and Junior's Director before a decision
will be made. A parental request for a 12 year old player must be in
writing and the request sent to the league President.
Little League Incorporated will be implementing a "No Player
Property Rights" in every division. This means every girl re-enters
the draft every year and no team stays together year to year.
Gilbert Softball Little League is implementing this same policy, No
Player Property Rights. A player can not request a certain coach.
This is a draft process only so no request of any kind can be
honored. The only players that do not have to go through the
Mandatory Player Evaluation are the coach's daughter and one
assistant coach's daughter. The assistant coach must be designated
before the Player Evaluation.
The Junior Division does have a later start date than the Minor and
Major divisions. The Player Evaluation and draft process usually
begins in late March and the season goes through mid June. The
season does start later because of high players that do play in this
league. The high school players can not play, according to High
School rules, until their high school season is completely finished.
The All-Star team will begin the middle of June. GSLL will notify
each player, by e-mail, a date, time and place for Player
Evaluations.
All divisions will play by Little League Incorporation rules and
guidelines with only a few exceptions.
The GSLL Calendar will be updated as dates are selected.
