ELIGIBILITY
WMLL has different eligibility requirements for baseball & softball. In both cases, however, WMLL adheres to Little League International’s “Age Determination Date” requirements. Click HERE for a summary table of birth dates & LL ages.
Baseball: Boys & girls Little League aged 7 to 16 (= the player’s age as of August 31, 2023) who live or attend school in the Madison West, Madison Memorial or Middleton-Cross Plains high school attendance areas are eligible to play 2023 spring/summer season baseball at WMLL.
Softball: Girls Little League aged 7 to 16 (= the player’s age as of December 31, 2022) are eligible to play 2023 spring/summer season softball at WMLL. No residency or school requirements exist for softball.
- Gender Identity & Participant Disability Policies: WMLL encourages participation of all children, and acknowledges that some participants may require a modification or waiver of WMLL or Little League International (LLI) rules in order to participate in a manner consistent with their Gender Identity, irrespective of the gender listed on the child’s birth certificate or due to the participant claiming rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to request a modification or waiver of the rules in accordance with LLI policy & procedures.

FEES & DISCOUNTS
Player Registration Fee: The standard registration fee for WMLL’s 2023 spring/summer season is as follows:
– $235 for Rookie League baseball and softball
– $255 for Minor, Major, Junior/Senior League softball and Senior League baseball
– $280 for Minor, Major, & Junior League baseball
The difference between the fees is due to the number of games each of the leagues play.
Postgame Snack Prepayment: A prepayment for WMLL’s player postgame snack program is also collected during registration. This popular program provides players with a $2 concession stand snack after all regular season and league playoff games. The fee is as follows:
– $40 for Minor, Major, & Junior League baseball
– $32 for Rookie & Senior league baseball & all softball leagues
The difference between the fees is due to the number of games each of the leagues play.
Late Registration Fee: All registrations completed after the end of the regular registration period on February 28, 2023 will be charged a $20 late fee to encourage on-time reservation. Also, players that register late can be placed on a team only if space is available (each league has a separate maximum capacity), cannot request a buddy, & may receive their uniform late.
Multi Player Discount: After two children from the same family have registered, each additional child from that family receives a $50 discount.
SCHOLARSHIPS
This season qualifying families have two options for scholarship support – WMLL Only scholarships that cover the remainder of registration fees after qualifying families pay a reduced fee of $90. Families who apply for and receive financial assistance through the T-Mobile Call-Up Grant Program which provides qualifying families $150 in grant money. WMLL covers the remaining registration fee for all families who qualify for a T-Mobile Grant. **NOTE 2023 FUNDING FOR T-MOBILE PROGRAM IS NO LONGER AVAILBABLE** .
- Qualifying families that combine a WMLL scholarship & a T-Mobile Call Up Grant will have NO out-of-pocket payment for either the spring/summer or fall season! WMLL STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THE COMBINED WMLL SCHOLARSHIP & T-MOBILE CALL UP GRANT!
- To be eligible for either of these scholarships, a family must qualify for SNAP, WIC, or Medicaid.
- Free/Reduced Lunch (FRL) is no longer accepted for eligibility because most school are offering Free/Reduced Lunch to all families, so it is no longer an effective determination of need.
- IMPORTANT! Please note that families that wish to utilize a WMLL scholarship and/or T-Mobile Grant for lower cost or free registration must apply for & receive the support BEFORE registering. Click the box below for more information and the process for applying for a scholarship.
