WMLL places a very high priority on forming balanced teams to create fair, competitive leagues. To do this, WMLL utilizes a Skills Session and No-Cut Player Draft to establish team rosters.
The mandatory skills session is the critical first step in the process of assembling balanced teams.
At the skills session, after checking-in and receiving a pin-on number, all players in a Little League age (LL Age) group will be put in line. Players will then rotate through individual fielding/throwing, hitting, and pitching drill stations while the coaches in that league make evaluations for use during the no-cut player draft. After completing these drills, players are free to go.
IMPORTANT NOTES!
For those new to Little League age determinations the pdf file linked here for BASEBALL tells you what your player's "Little League Age" is for 2025 based on their calendar birthdate. Use the chart to determine LL Age.
The first round of skills sessions is scheduled for March 16, 2025, at the Vel Phillips Memorial High School Field House.
See the chart below for check-in times based on Little League age and last name. The following leagues are required to attend:

League drafts take place soon after the skills session and are used to create fair, competitive leagues by distributing more and less skilled players evenly across teams. Click Here for league draft guidelines.

Very soon after the draft, players are notified of the team assignment via SportsEngine. Soon after this, coaches email the families of the players on their team to introduce themselves & provide information on team meetings, practices, etc.
If you have questions about anything related to the skills session, league draft, player notifications or the upcoming season, please contact the appropriate league coordinator.
