1. Does the WLL offer anything for players older than 12 years of age?
  WLL offers the Junior & Senior Leagues for players between the ages of 13 & 16. Games are played against Little League teams from other communities as part of Illinois District 13's Metro League
  
2. Does the WLL offer T-ball for 5-6 year olds?
  The WLL does not have a T-Ball or Coach Pitch program for 5 and 6 year olds. The Woodstock Recreation Department offers programs for these age groups. Six year olds who have played at least one season of T-Ball or Coach Pitch ball, can make a special request to participate in the Rookie League. Fill out the Player Movement Request Form and contact the Player Agent to process the request.
  
3. What division will my child play in?
  Players are placed in a division based on their age as of April 30. For example, if your child turns 9 on April 30 they will play as a 9 year old in the Minor AAA League (ages 9-11). If they turn 9 on May 1st they will play as an 8 year old in the Minor Rookie League (ages 7-8). You can review the age chart for a detailed breakdown of the age groups.WLL realizes some players may need to make a special request to play up or down a division because of their playing ability. If you would like to make a special request, fill out the Player Movement Request Form and contact the Player Agent to process the request.

10. What do I do if I have a problem with my manager/coach?
  You should first discuss the problem with your manager/coach to see if the problem can be resolved. If the problem persists or if you feel uncomfortable talking to your manager/coach, contact the VP of your league or player agent to discuss the problem. Go to the Board of Directors Page to get contact information for these people. You may also drop a feeback form in a Woodtock Little League mailbox that is at every field.
