Each year, we receive a few questions as to what distinguishes the different divisions within WLL. Following is a brief explanation of each:
Major Leagues:
Majors will consist of 12 & 11 year olds with evaluations and selections for 10 year olds who wish to try out. 10 year-olds that do not get selected for the Majors will be placed in the Minors. Games typically begin in late April and run through mid-June. All games are played at Morrison Field and are held Monday - Friday 5:30pm and 7:00pm start times and on weekends.
See Spring Draft Procedures on home page on how the Major and Minor League drafts take place for further information regarding player eligibility and placement.

The kids play games, but 100% of the focus is on player development. Games typically begin in late April and run through mid-June.

K-Ball Division:
The introduction to Little League baseball in Westwood. This division is comprised exclusively of children currently enrolled in kindergarten. We strictly enforce this policy regardless of how talented a pre-K player may be. The player MUST be in kindergarten. Composed of both boys and girls, the entire focus is development. Teams rotate through skills stations followed by a relay race around the bases for weeks 1-3. Games start in week 4 and typically last 2-3 inning players bat one through the order and switch sides. Baseball begins in late-April and run through early to mid June. All games take place on the School Street fields and are held Monday - Friday 5:30p with some games on the weekend.
