The mission of all Wahoo Parks and Recreation youth sports programs is to promote a fun, yet challenging environment in which participants are introduced to and taught the basics of a given sport.  The program is strictly recreational in nature and emphasizes equal opportunity for involvement and participation.

Leagues
**NEW THIS YEAR**  The player's current grade level determines the league they are eligible to participate in.  Pre-K (going into kindergarten) and kindergarten will play t-ball.  First through third graders will play coach-pitch.  Note:  3rd graders may also choose to play in the player-pitch 10U league as long as openings remain on those teams.  Any 3rd graders still interested in participating in this program should contact Bob Schmidt ASAP as space is limited.

Program Format
Teams will play a round robin schedule and are guaranteed a minimum of six games.  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 softball 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. 
Please note:  All batting helmets brought by the participants must have a face mask.

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 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 this 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.
