Eligibility Guidelines
- Only players who played in the spring WYBSA season are eligible to play summer baseball for Wrentham. In the case that a player cannot play in the WYBSA spring season due to a medical issue but would like to play Wrentham summer baseball, the matter will be taken up by the WYBSA board.
- Unlike our Spring baseball teams, Summer baseball teams require a maximum eligible age as of April 30th of the playing year.
- WYBSA makes exceptions to this policy only for players who play with their grade in the preceding spring and have birthdays such that their “baseball age” would oblige them to play with players in a grade beneath their spring baseball grade cohort. Typically, these are players with birthdays between April 30 and Sept 1
- In these cases only, parents may petition the board to have their player evaluated to play both in their age group, and the age group one year above their baseball age. However, if the payer is offered a slot in the age group one year above their baseball age, the player is obliged to accept that offer and not the offer extended from their age group team.
- These guidelines apply to WYBSA competitive baseball for players aged 8 and up. As WYBSA does not offer a competitive summer program for explicitly players under the age of 8, all children under the age of 8 may try out for the 8 year old select summer team.
- We allow for baseball players aged 5, 6 and 7 years old to try out for that team as there is no competitive offering for those age groups.
Additional Notes
- WYBSA is a participant in the Friendship League for 8U age group.
- WYBSA is a participant in the Hockomock Summer Baseball League for age groups 9U, 10U, 11U, and 12U
