FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Question: What is the time commitment for our child?
Answer: Teams typically begin the season with 1-2 practices per week, leading up to Opening Day (weather permitting). Once games begin, teams typically have 1-2 games per week with an occasional practice in between. A game schedule will be posted on for your reference.
Parents are encouraged to work with their child on baseball fundamentals, as the time with the coaches often just introduces a concept. Mastery of fielding, pitching, hitting, etc. requires repetitions at home.
Question: What equipment will my child need to provide?
Answer: Players are only expected to bring a baseball glove, pants, and athletic shoes (cleats are optional). Many players bring their own bat, but this is not a requirement. Each player will be given a team jersey & team hat.
Question: Does Wooster Youth Baseball require masks on its batting helmets?
Answer: The league suggests wearing the wired masks for increased safety against wild pitches, but it is not required. If you borrow one of the helmets that the league provides, we ask that you do not remove the wired mask from the helmet. If you provide your own helmet, it is up to the parent whether a mask is used or not.
Question: Who can I contact if I have questions or concerns?
Answer: You are encouraged to contact your team’s coach, as they are the direct link between your child and the league. If you have a question that extends beyond your team, you are welcome to contact any one of the league’s board of directors.
