Conroe Area Youth Baseball

Protected Player Information

as of December 6, 2022

Each season, volunteer coaches are allowed to “protect” certain players for their teams. This allows for the coaches and assistant coaches to have their own players removed from the draft as well as makes some room for team requests. All 4U and 6U coaches will still be allowed to protect 5 players.  8U, 10U, 12U, and 14U coaches will be allowed to protect 6 players. 

By doing this we still keep the talent levels spread out, but it also allows for our younger teams to play together longer and possibly begin to build relationships together as a team and perhaps a future Conroe Baseball Club (CBC) team. 

Protected players WILL NOT participate in evaluation day (because they are protected) in any capacity. Too many of our protected players show up and register then aren’t removed from the draft board which confuses coaches during the evaluations and during the draft. This could cause an issue if a kid is drafted that should have been protected.   

ALL Protected Player Forms (the GOOGLE FORM) are due January 11th by 5:00 PM. The Google Form will CLOSE at this time and NOT be reopened. Kim will send out a list of protected players the same evening to verify each coach has all protected players listed. You will have until 5:00 PM on January 12th to make any changes. Coaches! DO NOT forget your OWN KIDS! Your own player as well as your assistant coach’s players MUST BE PROTECTED and will count towards your tally number. 

Please complete the PROTECTED PLAYER FORM by January 11th by 5:00PM. Coach's will need to bring the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FORM to the draft to verify you have spoken to the parents and agreed to this.
