2025 Fall Baseball Season Registration Open until 8/1

Below you will find the rates for the WAA Fall Baseball program. You must pay the total amount listed to enroll your child. Enrollment in Fall Ball does not include or guarantee Spring Baseball registration which opens the first week of December.

**This is for Inhouse Players ONLY. No Current 2025 Travel Players**

League Level *	Registration	Fundraiser	Total
Pinto (7/8 yrs.)	$125	$0	$125
Mustang (9/10 yrs.)	$135	$0	$135
Bronco (11/12 yrs.)	$145	$0	$145
Pony (13/14 yrs.)	$165	$0	$165
* To determine league level use the age the player will be on 4/30/2026 For easy age determination use our Age Calculator † Priority will be given to team registration at Colt/Palomino levels

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.

The Fall Season will be around 6 weeks (2 games per week). Games will start mid-August. All ages will compete against other local community teams. Mustang and up will compete in Southwest Baseball League (SWBL). Volunteer Managers are needed for all Fall Ball Teams.

Fall Ball Players are required to play the next year up from the season they finished in the Spring. For example, a 8 year old, second year of Pinto Player, you would play Mustang 9U Fall Ball as that is what they would play next Spring. Second Year Mustang players would play Bronco. The idea behind this is for players to prepare for divisonal changes for the following Spring Season.

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.

For our in-house players looking to play a few more games at a more competitive level we offer our Warriors Tournament Team Program. Our Tournament Teams, sometimes referred to as "In-House All Star Teams" or "Part-Time Travel Teams", consist of elite in-house players that are looking to join a second, more intense and competitive team. Tournament Team Members, both players and coaches, are expected to put forth considerable time, effort and commitment beyond that for a typical regular season team. Players must also be enrolled in the regular WAA in-house season.

Warriors Tournament Team Managers for 2026

Woodridge Warriors
8U-14U Part-Time Travel/Tournament Teams

MANAGERS NEEDED
For Next Year's Spring/Summer Season

8U-14U	Will Play Sunday League Schedule Minimum 2 Tournaments either during season or in July In Season Practices

Are You Interested in Becoming a Warriors Manager for the 2025 Season?

Here's your chance to let us know…

The WAA is looking for Tournament Team Manager’s for the next Spring/Summer Season.

Tournament Teams are age specific. These chosen teams of all-star players will compete in tournaments either during the season or after the season in July, in addition to the Sunday League from April to June.

Our Tournament Teams Program is in addition to our regular in-house teams. It allows for a select group of our in-house players to experience the regular in-house season as usual, plus allowing these higher skilled players the opportunity to play at a little more competitive level with additional games throughout the season. One way to think of our Warriors team is a "Part-Time Traveling All Star Team".

While there is much more information to convey, specific details will be discussed with a final group of candidates at a later date. However, any general questions will be answered via e-mail. Along with your interest, please indicate facts that would make you the ideal candidate!

Tryouts for players will be held in July/August of this year for the next Spring/Summer Season. If you have any questions please contact us.

Applications must be submitted by 8/1/2025.

If approved to be a Wooridge Warrior Manager you will also be a Woodridge Baseball Board Member.

Calling All Managers and Coaches

As part of our continued recognition of those who have volunteered their time this summer we would like to announce our Annual Coaches End of Season Pickup Baseball Game!

On Friday, July 18, 2025 with a 7:05pm game start time, we will play a game of batting practice pitch baseball at our Orchard Complex. Batting practice off of a pitching machine will start at 5:30pm.

Eligibility:
To sign up you must have been a Manager, Assistant Coach or Volunteer listed on the website, a Board Member or have the blessing from a Manager or Board Member stating that you made a significant contribution of time and effort to aid the league or your team.

The Rules:
Wondering if you can still hit? Don’t worry, this will be a batting practice pitch game with no "junk" allowed. This means fast balls only. We will have an umpire to call balls and strikes however there will be no walks. Should a batter reach 4 balls, the pitcher will be required to pitch at a slower speed to induce a hit or strikeout. Players will rotate the field positions each inning.

The First 26 sign-ups will play in the game.

Sign-Up ASAP so we can start setting up teams!
