Coaches are needed in all age groups. There will be educational opportunities for coaches throughout the season. All coaches must fill out a 2017 coaching application form and drop it off or mail it to the Village Center. If you are registering in person you can fill out an application at the Village Center. As part of the application process, all coaches will be required to go through a background check. Coaches must fill out a new form each year. A volunteer form can be found on the Village Center website or can be picked up at the Village Center. Team Sponsorship WYBS had more than 1000 children between the ages of 4 and 16 participate in our baseball and softball leagues last year. This program touches nearly every household in the Waunakee community in some way. Organizations have helped us by sponsoring a team with their company name and logo. Team sponsorships are $300. The league applies funds received for sponsorships toward the purchase of safety equipment and uniforms. Throughout spring and summer, hundreds of people will see the sponsoring organization s logo on uniforms and on our website. If you or your business are interested in sponsoring a team please contact Jeff Skoug at 850-5992.

Tournaments, Equipment, Weather, and Scholarships Traveling and Tournament Teams There are opportunities for players to participate on traveling and tournament teams at some levels. Each league handles these opportunities differently. Please refer to the league-specific information for these opportunities. The high school baseball and softball teams will also be hosting youth tournaments throughout the summer. Parent volunteers will be needed for these events. Equipment The leagues will supply catcher s equipment, a limited selection of bats and all other equipment needed for a safe and fun game. Players are required to provide their own glove and batting helmet. A player may use his/ her own bat as long as it is approved for their level of play.
