ALL DATES FOR 2026 SHOWN BELOW ARE TENTATIVE WHILE LEAGUE PERSONNEL REVIEW REGISTRATIONS, FORM TEAMS, AND FINALIZE SCHEDULES. THESE DATES SHOULD BE USED AS PLACEHOLDERS.
COACHES & TEAM COORDINATOR
All WMLL coaches are volunteers who have submitted an application and undergone a background check and completed mandatory training. Before each season, WMLL seeks out and selects a head coach for each team based on experience & other qualifications. Once chosen, each head coach may select one “official” assistant coach, subject to Board of Directors approval. After league drafts, the head coach may select additional assistant coaches as well as a team coordinator from among the parents of the team’s players. The team coordinator works closely with the head coach & performs a variety of tasks designed to ensure good communication within the team and the smooth running of off-field team business.
Note: WMLL also requires all Board members, paid staff (executive director, concessions workers & grounds crew), and paid umpires that are 18 years-old or older & anyone else deemed necessary by the Board of Directors to submit a volunteer application and undergo a background check and complete mandatory training.
PRACTICES
A team’s practice schedule and the location of their practices are determined by that team’s coaching staff. Practices usually begin in April as weather permits and are typically held more frequently prior to the start of games.
REGULAR SEASON GAMES
WMLL’s spring/summer regular season consists of 16-18 games in the Minor, Major & Junior baseball leagues and approximately 14 games in all other baseball & softball leagues. Each league’s actual game schedule will be released with team rosters following the player draft & will be made available via Sports Connect & the WMLL website.

Rookie Baseball and Softball - May 16-17
Junior/Senior Softball - May 23-24

DISTRICT “ALL-STAR” TOURNAMENT TEAMS
WMLL will form & field “all-star” baseball teams at the LL age 10, 11, 12, Junior & Senior levels to prepare for & compete in the official Little League (District / State / Regional / World Series) tournament series.
The WMLL Board may, however, elect to field a traditional “all-star” baseball or softball tournament team for at any age level for which either a Thunder team does not exist at that age level or there is sufficient non-Thunder player & coach interest to do so.
