WELLESLEY YOUTH BASEBALL SPRING LEAGUES

• • •

8U - A LEAGUE - SPRING 2025

Overview:
The 8U - A League is a developmental, coach pitch league. Teams are comprised of Little League age 7 or 8 year-old players, that have not yet moved up to the 9U-AA League based on evaluations. Kindergarteners who are Little League age 7 may
participate in this league if they wish and should attend evaluations in the winter to be placed appropriately.

Evaluations:
Players will be evaluated in late February or early March, along with any available coach
feedback from prior seasons play, to make sure that the 8U - AA league is the correct
placement for them

Clinics & Practices:
WYBS provides weekly in-season clinic style support prior to 8U-A games. Each gameday will feature a skills clinic for the first 45 minutes, followed by a full-sided game. Coaches are encouraged to schedule one (1) additional practice a week for their individual teams in addition to these clinics

Season:
Runs from the week of April 12 through mid-June. No games on Memorial Day Weekend. Final game will coincide with the end of the Wellesley Public School year (mid-June)

Games: Saturday afternoons: 1:30 – 3:00pm

Format: Coach Pitch, transitioning to Kid Pitch

Team Construction:
Balanced teams will be formed based on evaluation scores, but school districting will still remain a heavy focus for team placement.

ROOKIE TEE BALL

For all children currently in Kindergarten and for PreK children who will turn 5 years old before 8/31/25
Practices: Scheduled by the coach / once a week
Games: Sundays 12:30-2pm / with assistance from Terriers Sports
K/1 Softball Season: Mid-April to Mid-June with no games on Memorial Day Weekend

The goal of our Rookie baseball program is to provide an enjoyable setting for children to have fun learning basic baseball skills and to begin to appreciate the game. We do our best to keep the teams school based, but it is not always possible as we do group by age. (Little League aged 5-year olds together and older 5 & 6-year-olds together)

The Sunday sessions are about 90 minutes long. Teams are split into small groups and coached the basics (hitting off a tee, easy fielding and throwing drills, baserunning, sliding, etc.) in a super fun atmosphere. Games are played against other teams and players are moved around into different positions and no scores are kept. The atmosphere is low-key and the emphasis is on FUN.

Teams are formed in March and players are notified by coaches by the end of March.

Players will be provided with a jersey & hat. They should bring their own glove, bat, and helmet. They are not required to wear baseball shoes or pants. If you need assistance or have questions about purchasing any equipment, please email us at [email protected]

Parents are always welcome to help out!
