Baseball for Kids - Leagues, Camps, Clinics and Travel

It is the philosophy of Wheatland Athletic Association to progressively develop children’s skills by offering programs for various age levels. As they develop, the children are taught the value of good sportsmanship and teamwork. Our intent is for children to have FUN and to enjoy the sport they play while learning the character building lessons that come from participating in team sports. WAA emphasizes the fundamentals of baseball as players are taught the basics of hitting, throwing, catching and base-running within a framework of teamwork and sportsmanship.

Recreational

WAA’s Recreational Baseball League consists of an age progression of playing levels for pre-K through 8th grade. The program is started at the Kindergarten level with T-ball and then progress to Kindergarten & 1st grade Rookies where the ball is pitched by a coach. The continuing program mirrors the real world progression of baseball and starts with Single A and moves on to Double A ball and finally AAA ball for 4th/5th and 6th/7th/8th graders.
