A - Coach Pitch Division

Coach Pitch division or "A" ball is for players league age 5 - 6 (league age calendar) who most often have played at least a season of tee ball. League age 7 & 8 players are included as needed based on prior playing experience and/or ability. If registering for this division please note which team or league your child(ren) played for last. If no prior experience is noted, or can be confirmed, the player may be asked to attend a league evaluation date during the preseason to be eligible for this division.

WPLL does typically seek head coaches for this division. WPLL works around the availability of our head coaches. Please consider registering as a head coach or an assistant coach when registering your child, if there is interest and we will be in touch to discuss the role further. Registering does not guarantee selection. WPLL does offer a coaching coordinator to assist our head coaches, as they need.

Roster sizes are kept smaller than in older divisions but will typically be larger than in tee ball, typically 8 - 10. The smaller roster sizes ensure your son/daughter have more one on one instruction to begin establishing a solid foundation of baseball fundamentals, while maximizing the enjoyment of youth sports.

Games are on Saturday's. A night game, at the end of the season, will be scheduled during the week. Occasionally, depending on head coach's availabilities, a weekday game may be scheduled.

"Practice is held once per week. The specific day is determined by the head coach. Additional practices may be added by the head coach. If a specific day(s) of the week is/are not feasible for your family please include this information when completing registration.

Requests for a specific coach or friend(s) are granted up to team roster limits in this division. Preseason evaluations are determined based on players prior playing experience, which is known or can be confirmed.

If you encounter any issues registering your child please email or message us on Facebook for assistance completing your player(s) registration. Thank you!

WPLL Single A Ball Division Rules

WPLL "A" Ball Division Rules

1.) "A" ball is instructional. The scoreboard will not be used at any time. Game changer will be used.

2.) Games are scheduled to be 1 hour and 15 minutes.

3.) Managers/Coaches are allowed and encouraged, as needed, to assist batters and fielders.

4.) Players will be given an opportunity to play every defensive position.

5.) Each team will have all of their players in the field. (There are no “bench” players)

6.) The batting order will be rotated each game.

7.) Each half inning the offensive team will either be retired with 3 outs recorded or when the offensive team bats through their entire lineup one time.

8.) Coach pitch, up to 6 overhand pitches, will begin from the start of the season. After the 3rd game of the season machine pitch, up to 3 pitches, may be introduced for some or all batters if the head coach of that respective team deems appropriate. If no ball is put in play after 3 pitches the HC is to resume soft toss up to 3 additional pitches up until a strike out is recorded or a ball is put in play. Strikes do carry over from machine pitch to coach pitch.

9.) The player in the pitcher position should not leave the pitching circle clay until the ball is hit.

10.) The catcher position will not be used defensively in this division.

12.) Base runners are not to leave the base until the ball is put in play. No base stealing.

13.) Runners shall not advance beyond the base they are in the act of running to once an infielder has control of the baseball in the clay, including foul territory.

14.) An overthrow, to 1st base only, by the defensive team, on a ball put in play may result in no more than one additional base, at the runners own risk, for any ball hit in play.

15.) For Saturday games, if there is a team waiting for the field at the conclusion of a game, please clear the dugout & field. Have team meetings off the field so we can keep all games on schedule.

16.) Coaches & players please clean out the dugout before leaving. Parents, volunteers, and coaches please ensure bleachers and spectator areas are clean and clear prior to leaving the field.

17.) West Pasco Little League is a NO SMOKING park. We do not allow the use of ANY tobacco products during practices and/or games except at the designated smoking areas located beyond the OF fences in left or right field of each field. This includes vaping and e-cigarettes. Failure to adhere could result in a fine.

Please remember the reason we all get involved is for the kids. Please make sure they learn not only the game of baseball but also good sportsmanship, discipline, and respect for others. Most of all HAVE FUN!!
