Minor, Battista & Senior Fields: WMLL fields will not be available for practices during Fall Ball. This is normal practice & is consistent with past years.
Batting Cages: The WMLL batting cages & nearby grassy area can be used for practices during the fall season. For safety reasons, this space can only be used by one team at a time & that team must have a reservation.
The batting cage area is available in 1 hr, 15 min slots seven days a week as follows: 9:00-10:15 AM, 10:35-11:50 AM, 12:10-1:25 PM, 1:45-3:00 PM, 3:20-4:35 PM and 4:55-6:10 PM.
Teams (or squads) can reserve ONE slot per week via SignUpGenius.

Practicing at Madison City Parks
Madison City Park fields provide an excellent option for Rookie, Minor & Major League practices.
Free Fields: Fields with backstops & grass fields are free to use & are available on a first come first serve basis (unless the field is also used for soccer, in which case it could be reserved).
Reservable Small Fields (60′ bases): Fields with dirt infields are reservable by teams at very reasonable cost ($6/hour) using the youth athletics discount. Note: On the reservation site all fields with 60′ bases are called “softball fields”, but the fields can obviously be used for baseball.
