How are teams put together?
For our rookie league we try to honor as many requests as possible. Not all requests will be granted. For our other teams please read the
Team Formation Policy.
 
When are signups?
We offer an early mail in registration off the website from July 15th thru October 15th. We also have in person registrations at Clague cabin the last Saturday in January and the first Saturday in February.  You can also mail the registration form with a check to the WBL PO Box.
 
What if I miss signups?
Each of our leagues has a limited number of roster spots available due to field limitations. After our February signup no guarantee of a roster spot can be made. Additionally you will be charged a $25 late fee.
 
When does the season start/end?
Practices usually start three weeks prior to the start of the season which is on or about May 15th. The season is over by the last week of July.
 
How many games are scheduled?
Each league is a little different but we schedule 18 knowing that we usually get three or four rainouts that we do not make up.
 
Are there Practices?
Each team is given practice time starting in mid-April up to the start of the season. Once the season starts there is little field availability for practices, however, slots are scheduled on Sunday’s.
 
How do I volunteer to coach?
On the registration form there is a spot to mark for that.  You can also contact the commissioner of the league.  See our "Contact Us" page.
 
I can’t coach but I want to help?
Teams need people to coordinate team activities like the Memorial Day parade, snack schedules, picture day and others. We encourage you to speak with your coach.  There is also a need to help with the Westlake Baseball League.  Please contact the president or other board member to see all the opportunities available for you to help the WBL.
 
Can my player play both in-house and travel?
Yes, but both fees apply and for the in house league your player can not be an all star. Additionally communication between your family and coaches is very important.
 
Can my nephew/cousin/etc who lives in another city play in our in house program?
No, not at this time.
 
We signed up but haven’t heard from our coach?
Go to the home page and under contact us locate your level of league play, rookie, minor, etc, and send a email to that commissioner who should respond in about 48 hours.
 
What is travel baseball?
Travel baseball is designed to develop players beyond what is learned in the in house program. Teams are formed from 8u-14u and typically play between 26 and 45 games. More Information
 
When are travel tryouts?
