Can my child be placed on a team with his friends from school?
It is the intent of the league to balance teams throughout the league by age, without regard for schools or neighborhoods of residence. Therefore, the league does not honor requests for special placement of players on teams.
What if my child plays soccer and we have schedule conflicts with baseball?
Children (and their parents), today, have many activities to participate in. Baseball, being a team sport, depends on the unity of a team and commitment of each player on the team. Prior to registering, please consider the amount of time you and your child can invest. Attendance is expected at team practices and league games, understanding that summer is the time for family activities. Players will not be penalized because they have missed practice. The rules of the league ensure equal playing time for all members in all positions.
Where are the games played?
The league uses a number of fields, mostly in Wauwatosa. Click here to view the fields utilized for each league.
When are the games?
Generally, our league calendar is published on the web site and all families receive game schedules in May. Games begin during the first week of June. All teams will play 2-3 times per week at various fields. Games played during the week begin at 6:00 p.m. American Division (11-12 year olds) teams will play “under the lights” at Whitman 3-4 times each summer. Those games begin at 8:00 p.m. Saturday games start at 9:00 or 11:00 a.m. Games will have a two-hour time limit.
How can I volunteer to help out in the league?
There are many ways to lend a hand that don’t require you to quit your day job. Click here for more information on the volunteer positions.
Who is eligible to play in Tosa Baseball League?
Players must either: be residents of Wauwatosa or attend school in Wauwatosa, or have a parent who works in Wauwatosa, be between the ages of 7 and 14 as of September 1, 2008.
My child will turn seven after September 1st. Can he still play?
Unfortunately, your child will have to wait an extra season before playing in the league. All children (boys and girls!) must be 7 years old by September 1, 2008.
Do we need a special baseball uniform?
Tosa Baseball League provides all players with a uniform shirt, baseball cap and socks which are theirs to keep at the end of the season. Parents are only responsible for purchasing plain, white, uniform baseball pants.
What equipment does my child need?
A baseball glove and footwear! Either baseball or soccer
cleats or tennis shoes are just fine. All bats, balls, batting
helmets, catcher’s gloves, pads and helmets are league
issued. Players may only use league-issued equipment
with the exception of baseball gloves.
