WAA offers opportunities for continued play in July and August
WAA Summer House Leagues for players age 6-12 starts in mid-July and runs 6 weeks through late August . All games are played during the week (Mon-Thurs). There are 2 games per week and rules are relaxed/changed to encourage player participation and development. In many cases players are allowed to play up into a league they would participate in the following year. All games are played at Empire Park unless there is a conflict with a local tournament home game. Developmental & Majors are scheduled to play Tues & Thurs while Minors play on Mon & Wed. The season is scheduled to run from the week of July 17 through week of Aug 21.
WAA is again partnering with Cold Stone Creamery on Holt Road in the Webster Towne Plaza to award one team in each league from T-Ball through Majors with a team ice cream party!
Many of you are aware of and have asked questions about the upcoming bat rule changes for 2018. Little League just published a new page about the upcoming changes, which contains a link to a fantastic page with lots of questions and answers.
The bottom line: if you are considering a new bat for your child (ages up to 13 in 2018) for 2017, you may either want to wait, or not purchase an expensive one, because it will not be legal in 2018.
As always, if you have questions feel free to ask us. We're here for you!
I'd like to share with you an excellent resource for information on being a Little League baseball coach. This is a valuable tool for those of you with experience and even more so for those of you who are new to coaching baseball.
It's FREE and only requires you to register for an account.
The intent of this Resource Center is to provide the coach with the tools they need to be effective leaders of children, to run efficient and productive practices, and to teach children the baseball or softball skills they need to be able to excel.
This service is being provided at absolutely no charge whatsoever by Little League International. Any and all Little League Baseball coaches are eligible to access any of the information in this Resource Center at any time they wish. It is just one of the many reasons Little League remains the largest, best, and most respected youth sports program in the world.
Whether you are a novice or a seasoned veteran, you will be able to learn something from this Resource Center. We hope you enjoy it.

Thank you to everyone who has donated to or volunteered for the Miracle Field project!
We still need your help. A field of this magnitude is a huge undertaking, but the effort is worth it. Someday “challenged” children, adults, and veterans from all over the greater Rochester area will have a place to call home that will be located in our very own Town of Webster. We continue to welcome donations and support from the community.
In the coming months you will be hearing more about fundraisers and events to make the Miracle Field a reality. Before you know it, the Challenger Baseball season will be underway, and we can always use buddies to assist the players. If you want to help, please let us know!
