Online registration for West Hartford Youth Baseball League‘s Spring 2015 season is now open! Boys and girls ages 5-12 are eligible to register.
Entering its 66th season, the West Hartford Youth Baseball League (WHYBL) is the most experienced baseball league in town, and recognized statewide for its quality play and experienced coaches.
Affiliated with Cal Ripken Baseball, WHYBL focuses on providing your child with the best baseball experience to learn the game and improve their skills as they move through the program. Our record of success is unmatched in West Hartford, with two Ripken State Championships and one New England Championship in the past two years. Many of our players have gone on to compete successfully in high school and college, and recently a former player was drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays. Other players have gone on to success in other sports, or returned as coaches to our league.
