2025 Spring Baseball and Softball

• Registration for returning players and siblings will run November 1, 2024 - December 31, 2024.  Registration for new players will open January 3, 2025 and close January 29, 2025.
• The Spring Season is for all age levels except Liberty Baseball (which registration happens separately - see below).  Age Requirements can be found here.
  • Baseball: Rookie, Junior, Minor, Major and Senior
  • Softball: 8U, 10U, 12U and 14U
• Due to high league demand at most age levels, New Players registering may be placed on a Wait List.  Registration is on a first come, first served basis.
  • If you are put in the Wait List, please do not reach out to WPPA to get your status on the list.  We will reach out to you if a spot opens up for your player.
• The Spring Season runs from mid-April (practices start) and concludes in mid-July.  The season ending celebration and picnic is typically the Saturday following the final games.  The exact schedule for the season will be released in February once park district field allocation is distributed to WPPA.
• Contact registration@wppachicago.org with any questions.

A link to register via TeamSnap will be posted on this page (and on the WPPA Home Page) when they go live.

Fall Baseball and Softball

• Registration for the fall season is CLOSED.
• Age Requirements are available on the website.
• An 8-game season will begin in late August and run through mid to late October (weather dependent).
• Practices are completely optional (for most teams there are not any) and the idea of fallball is to have a bit of fun with the game and be out there with friends.
• Teams can be formed to allow players to "play with" friends.  This is accomplished by working with a volunteer coach and having that coach form the team.  The coach will provide their roster to the Fall Baseball Commissioner or Fall Softball Commissioner once it is formulated.  If a coach only has a partial team of players/friends, that is okay - the commissioners will complete the teams with at-large players that are available.
• Fall Rookie Clinic (open for players with birthdates of September 2, 2018 through September 1, 2019) will be capped at 60 participants, and will include four, one-hour clinics from 10-11a on each of the Sundays in September, beginning September 8, 2024 (with a rain date of the first weekend in October).  The clinics will be organized by our professional travel baseball coaches, but we need parent volunteers to help wrangle as well, so please note the volunteer option while registering.
• If you are from a neighboring park and want to play in WPPA Fallball, you are more than welcome!  Please reach out to the Fall Baseball or Fall Softball commissioner to learn more about the registration process.

Liberty Baseball

• Registration is closed.  If you would like to inquire about any opening spots, please contact liberty@wppachicago.org.
• This is for baseball players aged between 15 and 20.
• There are no practices.
• Typically 3 games per week, with one game on either Tuesday/Wednesday (5:30pm) and two games with one on each weekend day of Saturday and Sunday (3:00pm or 5:30pm).
