Q. What are the age requirements for the different divisions?
A. You must turn either 18, 25, or 38 before competing in the 18+, 25+, and 38+ divisions respectively.
Q. How much does it cost?
A. Each team sets it's own fees, but an individual's league dues are generally $150-$200 plus equipment costs (eg. bats).
Q. When are the games?
A. Games in the 18+ and 25+ divisions are generally played on Sunday afternoon as 7 inning doubleheaders. Single 9 inning games in the 38+ division are played on mid-week weeknights. The season begins after Memorial Day. The 18+ and 25+ divisions plan to complete their seasons by the end of August, and the 38+ division plays into September.
Q. I'm old, am I still going to be able to play hardball?
A. Absolutely! Each year there are players that haven't played baseball in many years. It generally takes a few games, but your baseball instincts will come through. Hopefully you don't have to break any bad softball habits.
Q. What happens when I fill out the Player Information Form?
A. You will be placed into the new player pool. There is workout and draft before the season to place new players on teams. If the current season's workout has already completed, players will be placed on teams on an as-needed basis. You will be contacted with more information -- if you are not contacted, please call Jason Heinz at (503) 269-6625 or e-mail jason.heinz@wvmbl.com.
