2022 Spring Baseball & Softball

Wauconda Baseball & Softball programs have helped bring Wauconda and Island Lake-area youths the fun and competitiveness of organized sports for over sixty years! We offer baseball and softball for boys and girls aged 4 years to 14 years. Sign up today!

All registered players are guaranteed a spot on a team. This is not a tryout or travel program, all players of all experience levels are welcome! Most divisions offer between 12 to 16 games during the season (weather permitting), and become more competitive as the players get older.

Payment plans are available, full payment IS NOT REQUIRED at the time of registration. If you do not wish to pay in full at the time of registration, you may pay a small $25 down-payment now and split the remaining balance for auto-pay in March, April, and May. Each payment is subject to a processing fee ($3 per payment, at the time of this writing). The payment plan option will be made available during check-out. We also offer financial aid for players in need. Please send us an email to discuss the availability of scholarships or waivers at [email protected]

For 2022, we are introducing a discount for coaches as a way to say Thank You! Head coaches (one per team) receive a 50% discount toward one child. Assistant coaches (up to two per team) receive a flat $25 discount for one child. Discounts are provided in the form of a refund or credit after the season begins. All coaches will be required to complete a series of online coaching certification courses and provide proof of completion. More information will be provided after coach registration and selection.

While we are confident that we will be able to safely play the Spring 2022 season, if for some reason we are forced to cancel (due to COVID-19 or another disaster) all registration fees will be refunded in full. Payment-processing fees added to the registration fee ($3 per transaction) are nonrefundable.

The Mustang League is a competitive league comprised of 3rd and 4th graders.

Building from Pinto, the players are now introduced to deeper skills at pitching, catching, infield, outfield, base stealing, tagging up, while still focusing on strengthening core fundamentals. Play also moves to a larger field.

The goal of the league is to teach the players teamwork, the responsibilities of being a team member, respect and sportsmanship as well as to begin developing their competitive baseball skills, all in a positive environment. Players are introduced to umpires at Mustang level. Good sportsmanship and skills development are emphasized over winning.

Teams will be selected around mid-March, and players will be notified by their manager shortly thereafter. House league practices will start in early April. Teams typically play about 16-20 games during regular season, scheduled to start on Opening Day which is in April. Weather permitting, the regular season will conclude in late-June. A playoff tournament follows the regular season to determine league champion. The playoffs usually last about a week and a half.

Teams from nearby communities may be included in the league (Grant, Lake Zurich etc.). While we do our best to stick to this tentative schedule, changes may occur because of weather, field conditions, and other events outside of league control.

Each player entering or in the league must be evaluated. Evaluations dates can be found on the calendar at www.LYAA.org. The teams are formed through a player draft based, in part on evaluation data.

Outside of sibling pairings, requests to pair players is generally not accepted; this is done in an attempt at creating a competitive balance across the league.

Based on the player’s evaluations, they may also be invited to participate in the N60 “part time” travel program as a supplement to their house league experience. N60 teams practice and play exclusively on Fridays and Sundays, when the house teams are inactive. N60 provides the players with slightly more competitive baseball and an opportunity to play an additional 10-15 games. There is an additional fee for the N60 league. Please see N60 information page.
