League Seasons
Windermere
Little League plays Fall seasons and Spring seasons.
The Fall
season runs September thru November; the Spring season runs February
thru May. Because players generally move up divisions in the
Fall, that season tends to be less competitive and more instructional
in nature.
The Spring season is more competitive and is followed
by several Little League tournaments that our league participates
in.
Registration
& Player Evaluations
Sign-ups
and player evaluations take place in August for the Fall season
and in January for the Spring season. These are held at George
Bailey Park.
Following
player evaluations, teams are drafted by the managers in each division.
Teams are redrafted every season.

Uniforms & Equipment
Your
WLL registration fee covers the cost of your child's complete uniform,
which includes team cap, personalized jersey, pants, belt, and
socks. You will need to provide baseball shoes. Although cleats are not
manditory, they are an incredible benefit for helping your child
maintain solid footing on the ballfield. All male players must wear
athletic supporters.
Each
player must provide his/her own glove, bat, and a protective
NOCSAE batting helmet (unpainted and without decals). Bat bags
are not required but are very useful for keeping equipment
together. The league will provide catchers equipment for each
team as well as a supply of practice and game balls.
Shoes,
supporters, and equipment can be found at most large retail
stores and sporting goods stores.
"Playing
Up"
Players
who are league age 6 may try out in order to "play up"
to the Single-A division, so long as they have participated in
at least one season of Little League tee ball (either in Windermere
or elsewhere). Players are moved up based upon the evaluations
of the Coach Pitch managers.
A Volunteer League
Windermere Little League
is one of the largest leagues in the state of Florida with over
700 players ranging in age from five to sixteen. The only way our
league is successful is through teamwork and participation.
Parents serve the league in every possible way as Board Members,
managers, coaches, team dads and moms, concession stand volunteers,
umpires, field maintenance workers, and fund raising organizers.
We cannot accomplish
our goals without the efforts of our parents. These are our players,
and they deserve the best help that we can give them. Little League
is a family participation sport. Without the cooperation and assistance
of all involved, it will be difficult to continue to build upon
the foundation already established for a strong league.
