**Please read the COVID-19 Return to Play Rules and Guidelines**
AAI only holds tryouts prior to each spring season. The purpose of tryouts are so that each coach may get an evaluation of each player prior to the draft. All players will get an opportunity to field, throw, catch, hit, and run during tryouts. All registered players, with the exception of protected players, are expected to try out in order to be drafted onto a team. If a non-protected player does not try out during the scheduled tryout dates, he or she will be placed in the "Blind Draft". All registered players will be placed on a team.
