Minors Baseball #1089

This is a competitive baseball program for boys 9 and 10 years of age. A player must be within the age range on or before May 1, 2008 to tryout for this division.  Highly competitive 8 year olds may try out for the Competitive Minors.

Players are selected to teams using a tryout and draft process. 
     * Tryouts for the 2008 season are scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, April 19 & 20, 2008.
The tryout location will be announced ASAP. There will be a non-refundable $5 tryout fee payable at the tryout - check payable to WAA or cash. Notification will be sent by email and posted on the web for tryout time approximately two weeks in advance of tryouts.  If you do not put an email address on your registration form, then you will need to check the website for tryout information.  No tryout information will be sent out via regular mail.  If a player is not selected in the draft, they will be placed in one of our recreational divisions for the appropriate grade level.  If this happens, a refund will be given for the cost difference between the competitive and recreational divisions.

Standings are kept and a league champion is determined.  The league will consist of 8 teams, and each team has a roster of 13. There is a mid-season All-Star game and a championship tournament at the conclusion of the season in which all eight teams participate.  Many of our teams are sponsored by local businesses.

Although the league is competitive, an emphasis is placed on the fundamentals of the game as players are instructed on the basics of hitting, throwing, catching and base running within a framework of teamwork and sportsmanship. For further details in reference to the rules, please click on the link below.

Games are 6 innings long, players pitch the entire game and regulation baseballs are used. 60' bases and 44' pitching distance.

Players must provide their own glove, spikes (plastic only) and white pants. WAA will provide bats, balls, batting helmets, catcher gear, and bases for each team. Minor league replica shirt, hat and socks are included with the registration fee.

Game time is typically 6:15 PM on weeknights.  Saturday and Sunday game times will vary. Each team may also play a couple Saturday night games.  The season starts approximately the 3^rd week of May and will run thru the middle of July. Teams will participate in a 14 game season.
