With the success of our Fall Softball Clinics, we are proud to welcome softball back to Entradero Park in 2023.

As we bring Softball back to WTLL, we are doing so in a measured approach that is consistent with other area Little Leagues that have done the same in recent years.

West Torrance Little League Softball Spring Season activities run late January through June 2023 (exact dates TBD), with games taking place at West Torrance Little League fields at Entradero Park in West Torrance, as well as, potential games versus other area Little League softball teams at their respective fields. Practices will take place at the WTLL fields at Entradero Park, or surrounding school fields.

Girls & Boys, Ages 5-10 are welcome, regardless of skill level. Child must live within City of Torrance, or general surrounding area (No Redondo Beach residents can register. WTLL & RBLL are planning to partner for a larger Youth Softball spring season. If you live within Redondo Beach, please register with RBLL at https://www.redondolittleleague.com/ ).

A player may only be registered for either WTLL Softball OR WTLL Baseball Spring 2023 season. Should a player be registered for both, we will ask families to pick either sport before registration is deemed final.

Softball Players League Age is based on how old the player will be during the calendar year (this is different than Little League Baseball). Click here to find out your child's Little League Softball Age for 2023 Spring.

 

Registration fees include Team Jersey & Hat, one weekly field practice

 

Practices will begin in late January/early February (individual coach’s decision), with Opening Day & games planned for late February (weather permitting). The seasons for most players & teams will conclude in early June, with Closing Day & Championship Games traditionally held the weekend after Memorial Day.

For 2023 Spring, our Softball divisions will only be Minis (U7) and Minors (U10).

Minis Softball is for girls 5-7 years old who are moving toward to hitting a pitched ball, as well as still learning the fundamentals of hitting and fielding. In Minis, players spend a portion of their season hitting a ball off a batting tee as well as learning to hit pitched balls from coaches. Rules of the game are designed to accommodate the need for teaching. As a Non-Competitive Division, the primary goals are to instruct children in the fundamentals of softball, to allow them to experience the value of teamwork and give them the opportunity to play softball with their friends.

Minors Softball ball is for girls 8-10 years old who are transitioning from machine/coach pitched play to batting against opposing youth pitchers. Minors softball is WTLL's initial competitive softball division. As a Competitive Division, the primary goals of Minors Softball are to create a fair and balanced competition throughout the division and provide a suitable vehicle for team and individual skills development.

For every registered player, families are required to work two (2) SNACK BAR SHIFTS throughout the entire Spring season, including end of year divisional tournaments. We are always looking for great volunteers, and as a bonus for volunteering in key roles - WTLL Board Members & approved Team Managers are exempt from this requirement, due to how much time they already volunteer to to the league. Families may choose to buyout their two shifts (per player registered) for $200 total; otherwise, families are required to provide one (1) check (per player registered) in the amount of $250, as a deposit to their two (2) shifts. After the season, these checks will be destroyed, once it is confirmed families worked BOTH of their required shifts per player registered. If families only work one shift, then the deposit will be cashed by WTLL.

At WTLL, we encourage players of all skill levels & backgrounds to play ball. We are entirely a volunteer organization, but do require player registration fees to help maintain fields, uniform & equipment expenses, and miscellaneous league expenditures (utility bills). Should your family need financial assistance with player registration fees, please do not hesitate to reach out to [email protected] to explain your situation & we can likely help find a solution.
