Wauwatosa Little League (WLL), formerly North Central Little League (NCLL), is a member of Wisconsin's District 1, providing fun and competitive baseball and softball for children in Wauwatosa and the surrounding Milwaukee area. Our baseball program caters to players aged 4-15 and our new softball program caters to players aged 6-12, offering a great opportunity for kids to develop their skills and enjoy the game of baseball/softball in a friendly environment.

League boundaries are defined by where you live or where you go to school. Boundaries roughly include Wauwatosa and Northwestern Milwaukee. See the Little League finder for official boundaries (note that our league will appear as North Central Little League in the finder).

If you live outside the boundaries, you may still be eligible to register by obtaining approval from WLL and a release from your local Little League, along with a reason for the transfer. For more details, you can check the official Little League finder for the exact boundaries (note that our league will appear as North Central Little League in the finder).

We like to call it “introductory competitive.” WLL provides a complete baseball and softball experience that develops skills, builds character, and creates lasting memories. No player is cut. Every player plays in every game. We try to form teams that are balanced and competitive with one another. Players are encouraged to learn and play each defensive position. The spring season includes pre-season practices and regular season games, and certain higher divisions include end-of-season in-house tournaments, allowing for gradual skill development. Players develop confidence, resilience, teamwork, and sportsmanship. For players who want a higher level of commitment and competition, Little League players have the opportunity to be selected to represent Wauwatosa Little League in the All-Stars Tournament, which can eventually lead to the Little League World Series. In addition to Little League, players can also tryout for a Bombers select baseball team.

Both Wauwatosa Little League (WLL) and the Tosa Baseball League (TBL) offer youth baseball in Wauwatosa. WLL is the official local Little League affiliate serving Wauwatosa residents as well as residents in nearby Northwestern Milwaukee neighborhoods. TBL is an independent organization not affiliated with Little League or WLL.

While we aim to accommodate specific requests, rosters for Minors, Intermediate, and Juniors are based on a draft system. Requests for coaches or teammates may not always be possible, but we'll do our best to consider them, especially at the Tee Ball and Machine Pitch levels.

Late registration is allowed in some cases, but this is subject to availability. Please reach out directly to inquire about late registration options.

Refunds are only offered for extenuating circumstances and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Spring baseball: for Machine Pitch through Juniors, $50.00 of each player’s registration fee is nonrefundable prior to registration closing (March 14, 2026) and at least $125.00 of each player’s registration fee is nonrefundable once initial registration has closed.
Spring softball: for the inaugural 2026 softball season, the $75 registration fee is nonrefundable once initial registration has closed except that refunds may be offered to players within divisions for which we are unable to form a complete team.
Fall ball: for Machine Pitch through Juniors, $25.00 of each player’s registration fee is nonrefundable prior to registration closing and at least $75.00 of each player’s registration fee is nonrefundable once initial registration has closed.

Spring registration generally opens in October and closes in mid-March. Be sure to check our registration portal for specific dates each year. For spring 2026, baseball and softball registration closes on March 14, 2026.

The spring season typically begins with indoor practices in late March and transitions outdoors as weather allows. The season concludes around mid-July.

Fall ball registration usually opens in late June and closes by early August.

Fall Ball typically begins the last Sunday in August and finishes in early October (no games over Labor Day weekend). Machine Pitch, Minors, and Intermediate divisions play 2 games each Sunday for 5 Sundays. The goal of Fall Ball is to develop players for the next spring season, particularly those preparing to advance to the next division. The focus is on development and not winning.

Divisions are aligned with “Little League Age” and designed to create a comprehensive baseball and softball experience, building skills and confidence in age-appropriate ways at each level.

Baseball 
Little League Baseball divisions are aligned as follows:

• Tee Ball - ages 4-6, geared towards kindergarteners. Tee Ball is where children are introduced to baseball and softball. They learn the basics in a non-competitive atmosphere focused on having fun.
• Machine Pitch - ages 6-8, geared towards 1st and 2nd graders. Machine Pitch advances players from tee hitting to hitting moving balls at a consistent speed. Play becomes slightly more competitive and scores are kept, but the focus continues to be on having fun and fostering a love for baseball. A player who is Little League age 6 for baseball is eligible to play Tee Ball or may play Machine Pitch if they have already played a season of Tee Ball.
• Minors - ages 9-10, geared towards 3rd and 4th graders. Minors introduces player pitching along with more complex rules, advanced skills, and game strategy.
• Intermediate - ages 11-12, geared towards 5th and 6th graders. Intermediate takes the competition up a notch and is played on traditional Little League fields (50’ pitching, 70’ bases). This age group is eligible to advance to the Little League World Series.
• Juniors - ages 13-15, geared towards 7th and 8th graders (also 9th graders not playing high school baseball). Juniors provides the regulation baseball experience (60’6” pitching, 90’ bases), preparing players for high school baseball. This division is also open for 9th graders who are not playing high school baseball. This age group is eligible to advance to the Little League World Series.

Softball
Little League Softball divisions are aligned as follows:

• Coach Pitch - ages 6-7, birth years 2018 and 2019. Coach Pitch teaches the fundamentals of softball - throwing, catching, fielding, hitting, and base running - before introducing player pitching. Teams may play games in the District 1 Little League Coach Pitch League or in house.
• Minors - ages 8-10, birth years 2016 and 2017. Minors is the next developmental step after Coach Pitch, where players begin to experience real game situations with player pitching, competitive play, and official rules, but with modifications that keep the focus on learning and fun. For 2026, teams will practice at WLL sites and play games within District 1 Little League Softball. The League anticipates having at least one full team of Minors-level players.
• Majors - ages 11-12, birth years 2014 and 2015. Majors is the highest level of the core Little League Softball program. Players experience full competitive softball with nearly complete regulation rules, while still emphasizing player growth, teamwork, and fun. For 2026, WLL is attempting to form one Majors team. If a complete team is formed, they will practice using WLL sites and play in the District 1 Little League Softball Division. If a complete team cannot be formed, players may be given the option of joining a neighboring League’s team or receiving a full refund.

  Little League Softball Age - Little League softball age is determined by birth year. For example, a player born in 2019 is considered Little League age 6 for the 2026 spring softball season, making them eligible for Coach Pitch no matter which month they were born. Little League Softball Age Chart. 

Due to Little League rules and regulations, exceptions are typically not made except for very rare cases. Please reach out directly if you have specific questions about your child’s eligibility.

Tee Ball and Machine Pitch/Coach Pitch teams will be formed taking into consideration school, friend, and coach requests to the best of the league’s ability. Rosters for Minors, Intermediates, and Juniors will be drafted to ensure fair team balancing and player development.

Team rosters for spring are typically finalized by mid to late March, before the start of the season.

You will receive your child’s schedule shortly after the team rosters are finalized, no later than mid April. Your coach will reach out via email and GameChanger to share key information for the season.

Teams communicate through the GameChanger App. All practices and games will be found in the app (please be sure to RSVP to practices and games to give your coach plenty of time to plan practices and set lineups). \ Once you are added to your player’s team in GameChanger, you can invite family and friends so they can have access to the team schedule and can follow along with games.

We provide a sizing chart during the registration process to help you choose the correct size. If you’re unsure, it’s always better to size up to allow for growth.

You are required to provide:

• Glove
•  Helmet
•  Bat (optional but recommended)

The League supplies:

• Uniform (hat, jersey, pants; socks and belt available for purchase when ordering uniform; Tee Ball receives hat and t-shirt)

WLL runs on volunteers! That said, you can be involved as much or as little as you would like to be. We can always use help planning events, setting up and tearing down events, helping during the events, etc. If you would like to assist, please fill out the Volunteer Contact Form and be sure to register yourself as a volunteer similar to how you register your players for their programs. We gather the information necessary to complete your background check during the volunteer registration process.

All-Stars refers to the annual district, state, regional, and international tournaments run by Little League International. Teams are formed for different age divisions to represent Wauwatosa Little League at these tournaments and the games are far more focused on being competitive and winning than during the regular season. Learn more on our All-Stars page or on Little League International’s What Parents Need to Know About All-Stars page.

Players are primarily selected based on their performance during the regular season, including skills, attitude, and ability to be a good teammate. The ultimate goal of player selection for each team is to build a roster that will provide the best chance for winning. The league may hold tryouts for All-Stars teams if deemed necessary.

The commitment for All-Stars is typically much higher than for the regular season and players are expected to commit to being available for the entire All-Star season. The All-Star season typically begins in June and ends in July or early August, depending on how far a team makes it in its respective tournament. Each team will practice multiple times a week throughout the All-Star season. Teams play an initial 2-3 pool play games against other District 1 Little League All-Stars teams. Teams can then advance to state, regional, and or even World Series tournaments.

Yes, players must be registered with Wauwatosa Little League to be eligible for the Bombers.

Teams are typically formed through tryouts held in early summer. Players are evaluated for skills, attitude, and team compatibility.

Bombers teams typically practice once per week October through December and may play in fall scrimmages. Beginning in January, teams practice 1-2 times per week and have access to additional training opportunities. Beginning in April, Bombers typically practice once per week (scheduled to not conflict with Little League practices and games). Each Bombers team participates in a scrimmage tournament at the end of April and typically 4-5 tournaments in May and June. Most tournaments are in Southeastern Wisconsin although teams may also participate in a travel tournament.

No, there will be no conflicts between Bombers games and regular Little League games.

There is an additional cost for participation in the Bombers program, covering uniforms, tournaments, and operating expenses. The fee for the 2025-2026 season is $500.00. While certainly not required, families typically also purchase Bombers spirit wear and additional gear such as branded gear bags.

More details can be found on the Bombers page on this site and on the Facebook and Instagram pages.
