and maintenance fees.
The items you may need to buy (if you don’t already
have them) are:
-
A Glove
-
Shoes - sneakers are OK but rubber baseball cleats are
recommended
-
Pants - Your
coach will let you know what color pants you will need at the first
practice.
-
Bat - A bat is optional, and in most cases it is
better to wait and talk to your coach so they can recommend a proper size.

There is a player evaluation that will be performed for players
in the Minor league and above. This evaluation is performed to ensure kids are
placed in the league appropriate for their age and skill level. Players in the
Pee-Wee, T-Ball and Coach Pitch league are not required to attend an evaluation
session.
While it is possible to have a child play in a higher league, it is strongly
discouraged. Even players who are at the top of the talent pool for their
current age group usually find it difficult to compete at the next level when
advancing early. We strongly encourage you to discuss the situation with one of
our board members when making the decision to move your child up early.
To move up early a player must meet all the requirements below.
- Player must be no more than 12 months under the required age for the
league they wish to move up to.
- Players must have competed in at least 1 season in the league for which
their age qualifies them for.
- Players wishing to move into the Minor, Major or Junior leagues must
attend a player evaluation session and identify themselves as a waiver
candidate.
- Parents/Guardian must complete a waiver form and present this along with
the registration form when registering.
- Waiver candidates cannot register online due to the additional paperwork
and MUST attend one of our registration sessions in person.
Yes. In certain situations it is possible for a player to be placed in a
league which is younger than what their age would normally qualify them for. If
it is determined to be in the best interest of the player to participate in a
younger league, WBA will make the necessary adjustments in order to accommodate
this. For more information, please contact a WBA board member or email
wba.registrar@verizon.net.
If you have a question that was not answered here, please contact us. You may
