Want to see how the WMLL fields were built back in 1964?

Thanks to Tom Schorr from Wells Print & Digital, our host for the WMLL website, we are now able to bring you a slide presentation of the actual construction of the Major and Senior diamonds at WMLL back in 1964.  Tom was able to work with You Tube and convert our Power Point presentation into a video for viewing over the internet.  The slides in the presentation were donated to WMLL by Art Peterson, former WMLL Board President and District 4 Little League Administrator.

Meet the WMLL Board Member & Staff

Check out our new WMLL website page featuring the photos and backgrounds of all the league's Board of Director members.  These are the folks who donate many hours each year to make the league run and keep it growing.  They each serve a three year term and are elected at the Annual Meeting in October.  The Board has 15 voting members, with five up for election each year.  Click Here for Board Profiles

It also takes a dedicated staff to keep our operation running smoothly every day of the season.  Its a challenging job, as WMLL is open 7 days a week during the regular season and Fall Ball.  There is also quite a bit of prep time before the season, as well as clean up after Fall Ball.  Our hats off to this dedicated group for a job well done.  Click Here for Staff Profiles



WMLL CHALLENGER LEAGUE A HUGE SUCCESS!


***Two Major Sponsors Emerge for 2010 Season***

Many thanks to Rob Andringa and the RBC Wealth Mgt team for stepping up and donating $2500 as a major sponsor of the WMLL Challenger League for 2010.  Funds were raised at a half-time youth shootout at the Feb 9 Badger-Illinois basketball game at the Kohl Center.  WMLL is hoping to double the number of teams playing Challenger ball this fall. 

In addition, we are pleased to welcome back First Business Bank for their second year of major sponsorship for the Challenger program with another donation of $1000.  Thanks to both these fine businesses for "stepping up to the plate" for kids with disabilities!!


The inaugural 2009 league for children with disabilities was a GREAT SUCCESS!!  This league was covered by WMTV Chanel 15 and was featured on the front page of The Wisconsin State Journal!  Thanks to First Business Bank for their monetary support of our inaugural season.                 Full Story / Images / Video

Challenger Buddy Wants More!!!

We speak quite often about the role sports can play in forming a lifetime of memories, friendships and the teaching of life's lessons.  To think that this small experience, shared by Athlete Katy Goldschmidt and Buddy Danny Zimmerman during West Madison Little League's inaugural Challenger Division season could have such an impact on this young man's life, is awesome!  Full Story
