Normally the evaluations are held every week except in August the fields close for maintenance. With Christmas and New Years approaching, you might wait until January.

I did mention in my post to wait until January because of the holidays. However, post #4 shown below, where did you post that the fields are closed until January? I see the rules for woman were changed in January, nothing about the fields. If you have knowledge the fields are closed, just post it.

To add to my original post; getting evaluated after a season starts is not a big problem. I moved here in July of 2011 and went to one evaluation, then had to wait because of August closures, then finished my evaluations in September. I was rated a level 4 and turned in a blue sheet at Saddlebrook and that night, 3 coaches - 2 rec league and 1 neighborhood, called and asked if I wanted to play full time on their team. I took the neighborhood position and it all worked out.
