***ATTENTION***

Following the lead of the Woodstock Public School System and based partly on the recommendation of Little League International, Woodstock Little League has decided to temporarily suspend all league activities until at least April 20, 2020.  At this time, we will provide an update on the 2020 Spring Season.

Again, all WLL activities scheduled prior to April 20, 2020 have been postponed, including the evaluations/tryouts.  Registration for the spring season has been extended to April 30, 2020 for all divisions.

We are continuing to monitor this situation closely, and will be following the guidelines set by Little League International, the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), CT State Department of Public Health, and the Town of Woodstock school district and government agency.  Any new information, policies and/or procedures will be posted to our website and communicated to league participants when available.  This is an unprecedented situation for our country, our community and our league, so we please ask that you be patient as we navigate through this ordeal.

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 April 30, 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). 
There will be no registrations accepted after April 30, 2020.

Spring evaluations/tryouts will be held at a time TBD at Roseland Park.  Players should wear cleats, not sneakers.  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 April, although WLL encourages attending both.  Any questions should be directed to Mike Sampson at woodstockllpresident@yahoo.com.
 

Spring 2020 Evaluation/Tryout Schedule:

Location: Roseland Park, 147 Roseland Park Rd, Woodstock, CT

• any 7 year olds who want to be considered for Minors
• any 8 year olds who want to be considered for Minors
• any 9 year olds new to WLL, new to Minors or who want to be considered for Majors
• any 10 year olds new to WLL or who want to be considered for Majors
• any 11 year olds new to WLL or new to Majors
• any 12 year olds new to WLL or new to Majors

*9 year olds should attend the evaluation for the division they wish to be considered for.  In order for 9 year olds to be considered for the Majors division, they must have played in the Minors division for at least one season.

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.
