2020 Spring registration is now open
Woodstock Little League registration for the 2020 Spring season is now open. Please read the information below for more information and registration details. Registrations can be submitted online at http://www.woodstockctlittleleague.org/.
New for 2020, WLL will be offering a Challenger division. The Little League Challenger program is Little League's adaptive baseball program for individuals with physical and intellectual challenges. Any individual with a physical or intellectual challenge may participate. If an individual can participate in the traditional Little League Baseball or Softball program with reasonable accomodations they should do so. The Little League Challenger Division is open to residents of Woodstock and surrounding towns. The Little League Challenger Division accomodates players ages 4 to 18, or up to 22 if still enrolled in school.
For registrations other than the Challenger Division, please register your player(s) in the appropriate division according to their date of birth. This will not necessarily be the division that your player(s) participates in during the 2020 Spring Playing Season. Final player placement will be determined by the WLL Board of Directors based upon the following: (1) WLL Safety Evaluations, (2) Little League Softball and Baseball Age Determination Charts, (3) WLL bylaws for Player Tryouts and Evaluation Scores (Rule 7) and (4) WLL bylaws for Age Guidelines and Division/Team Roster Selection (Rule 8). WLL bylaws can be found under the "WLL Documents" tab on this website. Any questions can be directed to Mike Sampson at woodstockllpresident@yahoo.com.
Registration through March 15, 2020 will be $90 per player plus participation in the league fundraiser ($80 per player for tee ball division). New for 2020, any registrations received prior to January 31, 2020 will be eligible for an early bird discount of $10 off their registration fee(s).
Registrations received March 16, 2020 or later will include a $25 late fee.
Spring evaluations/tryouts will be held in March 2020 on the turf field at Woodstock Academy South Campus. Players should wear sneakers, not cleats. Players looking to play in a new division for the 2020 spring season should attend this evaluation/tryout. In most cases, players will not be allowed to move up a division unless they have attended at least one evaluation/tryout. If your player attended the evaluation/tryout held last October, they are not required to attend in March, although WLL encourages attending both. Any questions should be directed to Mike Sampson at woodstockllpresident@yahoo.com.

All references to age/league age is intended to mean the player's Little League age for the 2020 season. To calculate your player's Little League age, please see the 2020 Baseball and/or Softball Little League Age Charts found on our website or visit the Little League website and utilize the Little League Age Calculator (http://www.littleleague.org/leagueofficers/determine_league_age/league_age_calculator.htm).
Any returning player that will be playing in the same division as the 2019 Spring season is not required to attend tryouts. The division the player participated in during the 2019 Fall season is irrelevant for 2020 Spring season placement purposes.
2020 League Fundraiser - Spring Drawing
- You have the option of selling five tickets ($5 per ticket) for the drawing or buying out of the fundraiser for an additional $25.00. Buying out will give you five entries in the Spring Drawing. This buyout fee is PER PLAYER, NOT per FAMILY.
