Woodstock Little League registration for the 2019 Spring season is now open.  Please read the information below for more information and registration details.  Registrations can be submitted online at http://www.woodstockctlittleleague.org/.

Please register your player(s) in the appropriate division according to their date of birth.  This will not necessarily be the division that your player(s) participates in during the 2019 Spring Playing Season.  Final player placement will be determined by the WLL Board of Directors based upon the following: (1) WLL Safety Evaluations, (2) Little League Softball and Baseball Age Determination Charts, (3) WLL bylaws for Player Tryouts and Evaluation Scores (Rule 7) and (4) WLL bylaws for Age Guidelines and Division/Team Roster Selection (Rule 8).  WLL bylaws can be found under the "WLL Documents" tab on this website.  Any questions can be directed to Mike Sampson at woodstockllpresident@yahoo.com.

Registration through March 15, 2019 will be $80 per player plus participation in the league fundraiser. 
Registrations received March 16, 2019 or later will include a $25 late fee.

Spring evaluations/tryouts will be held in March 2019 at a location to be determined and announced at a later date (see specific dates and times below).  Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in.  Players should wear sneakers and bring their gloves.  Players looking to play in a new division for the 2019 spring season should attend this evaluation/tryout.  In most cases, players will not be allowed to move up a division unless they have attended at least one evaluation/tryout.  If your player attended the evaluation/tryout held last October, they are not required to attend in March, although WLL encourages attending both.  Any questions should be directed to Mike Sampson at woodstockllpresident@yahoo.com.
 

Spring 2019 Evaluation/Tryout Schedule:

• any 7 year olds who want to be considered for Minors
• any 8 year olds who want to be considered for Minors
• any 9 year olds new to WLL, new to Minors or who want to be considered for Majors
• any 10 year olds new to WLL or who want to be considered for Majors
• any 11 year olds new to WLL or new to Majors
• any 12 year olds new to WLL or new to Majors

*9 year olds should attend the evaluation for the division they wish to be considered for.  In order for 9 year olds to be considered for the Majors division, they must have played in the Minors division for at least one season.

All references to age/league age is intended to mean the player's Little League age for the 2019 season.  To calculate your player's Little League age, please see the 2019 Baseball and/or Softball Little League Age Charts found on our website or visit the Little League website and utilize the Little League Age Calculator (http://www.littleleague.org/leagueofficers/determine_league_age/league_age_calculator.htm).

Any returning player that will be playing in the same division as the 2018 Spring season is not required to attend tryouts.  The division the player participated in during the 2018 Fall season is irrelevant for 2019 Spring season placement purposes.
