After many years of independent operation, the Wayland Baseball and Softball Association (WBSA) is pleased to announce its new affiliation with Little League International. Now known as Wayland Little League Baseball and Softball, our mission is to provide baseball and softball skills development opportunities to kids of all abilities in grades K-9 in a fun, engaging, and safe environment for spring, summer, and fall programs. This new affiliation provides numerous direct and indirect benefits to players and their families including enhanced training and skills development tools for all players, coaches and umpires, alignment with neighboring Little League-affiliated towns, and of course, the opportunity to field a Williamsport national tournament team.

Wayland Little League (WLL) will be hosting an Open House and Equipment Swap on Sunday, January 31, 3:30-5pm in the Large Hearing Room at the Wayland Town Building. The WLL Board of Directors will be on hand to talk more about this new affiliation and what it means to you, to learn about the many exciting baseball and softball programs coming up this winter and spring, to explore “Friends of Wayland Little League” volunteer opportunities, and more. We also welcome you to bring (and take!) any bats, gloves, cleats or other “gently used” equipment that may be needed for the upcoming season. All unclaimed equipment will be donated to a local youth baseball and softball charity. And of course, pizza and light refreshments will be served. More information can be found at www.waylandlittleleague.org. We hope to see you there!
