Minimum age: Must be 5 years old by July 31, 2008 in order to play t-ball. Maximum age: Can not turn 11 before August 1, 2008 in order to play 10U. Program Format The 8U program utilizes a coach-pitch format while the 10U program is player-pitch. Teams will play a round robin schedule and are guaranteed a minimum of six games. League games will begin in late May. All games are played at Hackberry Park.
Equipment Each team is provided equipment for practices and games. All players will need their own baseball glove, pants, and hat. While shorts are acceptable, pants are recommended given the abrasive nature of the playing surface. Metal cleats are not allowed. Tennis shoes or shoes with soft rubber or molded cleats may be worn. Health issues are always a concern and it is recommended that each player is equipped with their own batting helmet with facemask. Uniforms Youth participating in Wahoo Parks and Recreation youth sports need to have two uniform t-shirts, one red and one blue. The playing schedule dictates which color shirt to wear for each game. These shirts are used for all youth sport programs and are available in a variety of youth and adult sizes and can be purchased at the Civic Center for $6 each. Rosters Rosters for all teams are formed via random selection. Parents may request their son/daughter be placed on a team with one other child for carpooling purposes only. Some carpooling requests may not occur. This information needs to be indicated on the registration form (no exceptions). Once teams are formed, coaches are responsible for contacting players on their rosters to set up practices and distribute information. Coaches Wahoo Parks and Recreation utilizes volunteer coaches for all youth sport programs. All head coaches are required to attend the coaches' meeting or meet with the league director. Instruction on general coaching philosophy and principles as well as sport-specific information will be discussed. Schedules Playing schedules will be available after the coach’s clinic at the Civic Center or on our website. Miscellaneous Participants and their parents/guardians should be aware that there is a risk of injury during participation in Wahoo Parks and Recreation youth sports due to the inherent nature of the activities. Individuals participate in Parks and Recreation youth sports at their own risk. Questions Contact Bob Schmidt at the Civic Center at 443-4174 during normal business hours.
