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.

Take advantage of this exciting opportunity to shake some of that rust off before the upcoming baseball season starts! This winter the WAA will once again host age-specific indoor baseball workouts.
The sessions will take place Sunday mornings from January through March at the Woodridge ARC for our Instructional, Pinto & Mustang divisions and will include professional instructors.
These workouts will be free of charge, however you must already be registered for our upcoming In-House spring season of Woodridge Baseball.
Workouts will focus on the fundamentals of hitting, fielding, throwing, base running and more. Sessions will be age & division specific and will focus on the skills appropriate to each age group. All sessions will be limited to 24 players, except the 1/12 & 3/2 Instructional sessions that will be limited to 12 players per session and ask that an Instructional player is only registered for one of those sessions on each date.
Space is limited, so reserve your spot now and get a jump start on the baseball season!
*Please ensure the session your player is signed up for is the same division they are registered to play in for the 2025 season*
