Conroe Area Youth Baseball

Protected Player Information

as of July 1, 2023

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 4 players.  8U, 10U, 12U, and 14U coaches will now only be allowed to protect 5 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. If the parent needs to come up to register in person, they can, but the kid should not run through evaluations. This could cause an issue if a kid is drafted that should have been protected.   

Coaches, you will complete the Google Form with ALL the kids you are protecting. ALL Protected Player Forms are due August 8th 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 August 11th to make any changes. 

The Parent and Coach Acknowledgement Form needs to be completed and turned in on DRAFT night. This ensures that you have spoken to each parent and they have agreed to their child being protected. 

Coaches! DO NOT forget your OWN KIDS! Your own (kid) player as well as your assistant coach’s (kid) players MUST BE PROTECTED and will count towards your tally number. COACHES, PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT IF ANY PLAYER GOES THROUGH EVALUATIONS, THEY ARE NO LONGER CONSIDERED PROTECTED! So, let those parents know NOT TO COME TO EVALUATIONS!
