2025 Spring Baseball Season Registration

Below you will find the rates for the WAA baseball program. You must pay the total amount listed to enroll your child. Our fundraising program includes raffle tickets that you will prepay for and receive at one of your April practices. As your child sells the tickets, you keep the funds raised, thus significantly reducing the price of enrollment.

FAMILY PACKAGE

The league will provide each player with a jersey, pair of baseball socks and a baseball hat. Players are responsible for providing their own baseball pants, glove/mitt and batting helmet (NOCSAE Approved). Please note that All Pinto Division Players (7/8 yrs. old) are required to use a helmet with protective mask/guard.

Practices start in April, and games are played through June. An average of 2 games and/or practices played per week on weeknights and Saturday's. The day of the week that games and practices are played on weeknights will vary from week to week. Weeknight games/practices generally start around 5:45pm and older divisions may play 8pm games as well. Saturday game/practice times vary week to week, and generally are scheduled between 10am and 5pm (older divisions may start earlier and also participate in Saturday Night games).

While the majority of our players reside in Woodridge, we do accept players from surrounding communities.

More information about specific divisions is available here. If you have any questions about our league, checkout the FAQ's Section of our website.
