K-ball offers a fun introduction to baseball for kids aged 3 – 4, setting the stage for their progression to more advanced levels. Each team will have 4-6 players, allowing for plenty of interaction and learning. Players hit from a stationary tee, making it simpler for young kids to hit the ball. Through K-ball, young players will learn essential skills like fielding, hitting, catching, throwing, and running.

T-Ball is for children ages 4–6 and is built to teach hitting, catching, throwing, and running the bases in a playful, low-pressure setting. This season (Fall 2026) WYAA is using a hybrid coach-pitch format. Each batter sees a few pitches from their own coach, then finishes the at-bat off a tee if the ball is not put in play. The tee stays in the game so every child still gets a fair chance to hit, run, and field. Fall is a transition season: the goal is to get players comfortable seeing a moving ball before the more structured spring season, while keeping the game fun and safe. It is the step between K-ball and 8U coach pitch.

The 8U baseball division is designed to help 7 – 8 year old players learn the basics of the game. In this division, coaches pitch by throwing overhand from a standing position to the batters. The primary goal of 8U is to nurture players’ skills and character, focusing on the basics of baseball rules and strategies, while helping them improve their skills on the field.

In the 10U baseball division, which caters to kids aged 9 to 10, the goal is to get them ready for the next stage of their baseball journey after coach-pitch. This marks the beginning of their kid-pitch experience. The focus is on developing athletic abilities, promoting sportsmanship, and enjoying the game. Players will also dive deeper into the rules of baseball, age-appropriate concepts and drills, and the value of working together as a team. It’s strongly advised to attend evaluations for the best team placement at this age level.

Coaches aim to create a competitive team for kids aged 11 – 12, while ensuring that players enjoy a fun learning environment. Every player is guaranteed playing time. It’s important for players to concentrate on improving their baseball skills, particularly in terms of speed and consistency. Regular practice and real game experiences are key to skill enhancement. It’s strongly advised to attend evaluations for the best team placement at this age level.

The 14U division is a competitive and transitional stage for players aged 13 – 14. The division will guide them from “kid” leagues to a “young adult” level and equipping them for high school baseball. In this league, players will focus on developing advanced skills such as hand-eye coordination, bat control, catching, fielding, throwing, pitching, base running, and important team concepts like cutoffs, relays, and double plays. It’s strongly advised to attend evaluations for the best team placement at this age level.
