Team Selections

PYSO will be using a NEW METHOD of Team Selections beginning this SPRING season (2026).

Utilizing the capabilities of AI Technology, teams will be developed based on evaluation scores and more (EXCEPT for Pitchers & Catchers.)

Focusing on the PYSO goals of game/skill Development and Fun for all players, this method will hopefully allow coaches and players alike to explore different field positions while

focusing on the individual strengths of each individual athlete.

Coaches may set up their own Scrimmages between teams during practice weeks but no umpires will be provided.
