Western Hills boundary map can be located here. All practices and games will be played at either Hatley Fields, 1st Street Fields, or Joseph Field @ WAYA. For more information, and locations of each field please visit our Fields and Facilities page.
Q: What are the official divisions for Little League baseball & the divisions for Western Hills baseball?
Your player’s “baseball age” can be found using the official Little League® Age chart found here.
*Please note* WHLL follows the 2024 LITTLE LEAGUE® official age chart for every player. WHLL will not place any player "up" or "down" into a different division.
Q: How are teams formed?
For players participating in Majors & Minors, teams are formed by a player evaluation followed by a coach-led draft. *Please note* For Majors and Minors, there are no teams based on school, team history, preference, buddy request or any other type of request. All draft decisions are final.
For players participating in T-ball, Coach Pitch and Machine Pitch, teams are formed directly by the Commissioner and Coaches. Teams will be formed primarily based on school and previous coach history. There are no tryouts.
*Please note* It is very important that parents submit elementary school information during the registration process to help build teams more efficiently.
Q: May I request for my child to play with a certain coach and/or with friends?
For players with ages 4 to 6, we will do our best to accommodate requests to play with a coach (presuming he or she is coaching in the child’s division) or with friends, but we cannot guarantee that all requests will be granted. Please note that most of the teams are formed with the players school in mind, so chances are you will be on a team with school mates. Please email info@whll.org with any Coach requests.
