WACYL TEE-BALL/COACH PITCH/SOFTBALL !
WACYL's Co-ed Tee-Ball / Coach Pitch / Softball Season will be open, March 3rd and will end on March 17th, 2023. No registrations will be accepted after March 17, 2023. As a reminder, cash and personal checks will NOT be accepted.
Please spread the word in the community and be sure to follow us on Facebook to receive updates leading up to and throughout the season.
WACYL programs are co-ed and follow an All-Play philosophy, geared to get all kids involved to improve their skill and promote the love and fun of the game. Registration for all programs will be $55.00, plus $20 per participant toward team shack snacks and a Sports Connect $3.00 service charge ($78 total).
Our season will run April 10th through June 5, 2023. Community volunteers are essential to our programs and will be needed. Please consider if you are willing to volunteer as a Coach or Assistant Coach for any of these divisions. No experience is necessary. If you cannot make every practice/game please register as a volunteer anyways, we could always use extra help. WACYL will provide NYSCA Training/Certification. Please visit our site for Coaching Requirements. Thank you so much to our volunteers. We look forward to seeing both familiar and new faces!

WACYL uses an App for communication for volunteers and parents for all sports seasons. The App is called Game Changer Team Manager. Below is the page that links IOS or Android depending on what phone you have. Everything can also be accessed through Blue Sombrero in the Team Central - Team Directory section. If you already have the App you can delete previous seasons to make managing current seasons easier. **The App will not push anything to you until the rosters have been completed, you can sign in using your Sports Connect credentials**
Download the App
Once the App is open select the parent/player option
There will be a Blue plus button, tap that and import team using Sports Connect.
It should now show your entire team. You can Message or Email your team through the App. All messages will show in a group thread or you can message individually if needed.
This is a mandatory way of communication as I am getting away from extra paperwork generated from rosters. This App will only handle the communication part of the App since the scheduling portion is a complete nightmare as basketball participants this year would agree. We will also be using Sign Up Genius for WACYL Shack signups just as we did for soccer last season.
A sponsor will be needed for each of our teams. If you would like to sponsor one of our teams, we will proudly print your business name on your teams' shirts, and gift your business with your choice of team plaque or team shirt. Sponsorships are $150 per team. Please contact Jackie Specht at jackiespecht@wacyl.com for questions or to pledge a sponsorship. Sponsor Info. We thank you for your support!
We look forward to another great season!
