Tee ball usually starts around mid April. Most teams have 1 to 2 preseason practices before they start playing games. We find that these little ones learn best while playing in games. Opening day is the first Sunday in May and tee ball usually starts playing games that week. We play a 12 game season. One game is played during the week (M-Th) and one game is played on Saturday morning. So the season usually runs 6 - 8 weeks. Weekday games start at 6pm and Saturday games are usually played before noon. Once the season starts most teams do not have weekly practices but a few may chose to.  Practice days are up to the coaches availability and field availability. It varies for each team but in most cases 2 games a week is enough baseball for this age group. Games focus more on teaching and are not super competitive. Everything is aimed at developing basic baseball skills at this level. 

Tee Ball is geared towards making the baseball experience for the little ones interactive, educational and fun! Below is a brief overview of our league:

• We have 8-10 players per team. All players play in the field every inning and rotate positions every inning in every game. Smaller teams with no more than 10 allows for a faster pace while hitting. This helps speed up the pace of the game, thus helping keep the kids attention. Smaller teams also allow coaches to give more attention to each player

• All games are played at Fritz Werley Park, with at lease one game played at the beautiful Majors field at Veterans Memorial Park. This gives the little ones a chance to look forward to playing on the “big” field!
   
• We introduce coach-pitch early in the season, as we have found it helps improve the accuracy of pitches as the kids learn – and as the season goes on, it helps facilitate a more rapid game pace, which will help hold the kids’ attention.

Tee ball is the foundation of our league. Everything starts at this level. If the kids and parents have an amazing tee ball experience, they are going to want to come back for Instructional, Minors, etc. Creating a top-notch tee ball program is key to the success and continued growth of WYBA!

The Westmont Youth Baseball Association Instructional League is an intermediary step between Tee Ball and Little League baseball. This level is for 7-8 year old players.  The purpose of the Instructional League is to further develop the player’s fundamental skills in baseball, and increase focus on pitching. The Instructional League, like Tee Ball, is a basic introduction to organized baseball, and it is meant as a learning & growing experience. Scores are kept, and while competitiveness is a part of it; skill development, good sportsmanship, and having fun while learning the basics of baseball are the driving force of our league.

There will be playoffs and a championship team crowned. All players receive a player Medal

Following is a brief overview of our Instructional league:

• Most games are played on TY Warner field #1, however, each week, Instructional will also have games played on the Majors field Veterans Memorial Park.  
• Game play will be 5 innings or 90 minute games, whichever comes first.
• During coach-pitch, the batter gets a maximum 6 pitches, if the ball is not put in play after the 6th ball pitched the batter in called “Out.”
• Kid pitch will begin on the 3rd week of the season starting.

Westmont Youth Baseball Association’s Minor League Baseball is for 9-10 year olds getting their first taste of real baseball.  With player pitching, stolen bases, umpires and more - children will continue to grow their knowledge of the game in a fun, supportive environment.  Practices will focus on both skill development as well as an understanding of the game and strategies.  While games are developmental – for both the players and the umpires – official scores and records are kept for the duration of the season.  After the regular season, all kids will have the opportunity to compete in a post season tournament for the right to be named League Champions.  Players who have excelled during the season will also have the opportunity to compete against local towns in post season All Star events.

Players in the 13U and 14U comprise the younger (Jr. League).  This age group plays on the Jr. Field (Former Jr. Babe Ruth) and competes on 80 ft. bases and a 54 ft. pitching mound 

The league has the feel of a part-time local travel program as we have the benefit of playing against local programs of the same age players that our program has been playing for years such as Clarendon Hills, and others.

The WYBA will be  hosting a Sr. League/ Summer Slam for Baseball in 2023. The schedule for the league is set up to allow High School players to play the full schedule to the conclusion of their season
and also end early enough for college players to participate in playoffs prior to returning to school in the later summer. The league will begin in early June, with playoffs ending late July.
12-14 regular Season games plus a double elimination playoff. The ages will be 15U – 19U based on a May 1st cutoff date. 19U players can participate, but are not eligible to pitch. There will not be games scheduled over the Memorial Day nor the 4 th of July weekends. Signups are open now!
