WSLL Families,
Despite the snow on the ground and cold temperatures, I want to welcome you to the West Springfield Little League Spring 2025 season! We extend a warm welcome to all of our new families and are excited to see our returning families for another wonderful baseball season.
Our pre-season activities are now underway. Players in the 5T, T-ball and 1A (Machine Pitch) divisions will receive team assignments in late February. Players in our AA, AAA and Major divisions will learn their team assignments after their respective drafts conclude.

We are an all-volunteer organization serving children ages 5-12. As such, we will be offering many opportunities to volunteer throughout the season. Concessions, field preparation, and special events are just a few of the opportunities where volunteers are needed. We will announce volunteer opportunities via email and on our website. Please consider signing up for these opportunities to earn your $200 volunteer fee back, for those that did not select the buyout option.
Our website is a great resource for information about volunteer opportunities, team schedules, field status and more.
On behalf of the WSLL Board of Directors, thank you for joining us for the season. We look forward to another wonderful season of baseball.
Sincerely,
Todd K. Harding
WSLL President
