Welcome to Western Hills Baseball, one of the oldest, largest and finest recreational youth
baseball leagues in the greater Austin and Central Texas area.

WHLL before Turning to the Gridiron
Registration ends Friday
In
WHLL our goal is to have every participant
experience many facets of the game including
learning about the game of baseball, learning to
play on a team, developing their physical abilities
and skills as well as learning good sportsmanship
and other important life lessons. Therefore, WHLL
strives to make leagues available for players at all ages
and skill levels.
In
the past, WHLL has had players who were registered
to play in a league designed for older
participants. This is often referred to as
“Playing Up.” Some participants have the skills and
physical ability to play with older players and it
gives them the best opportunity to develop/improve
their skills. In other instances, players have very
bad experiences playing with older players who have
more developed baseball skills.
As a
result, we ask that you register your child for the
league based on their age as of April 30, 2010. If
you want your child to play in an older league please
email Tammy
Belisle, League Secretary. We will contact you
regarding why you want your child to play in an older
league and work to confirm that his playing in the
higher league will be the best experience for
him. We do not have a problem with a player
playing in a younger league if this will help
him develop by playing with others of a similar
skill level.
Please contact
the League Commissioner or the Baseball Director for
details
* See the age chart to determine the league age of your participant:
