JOINING THE LEAGUE

WESA is a 'Draft' league
One of the things that we love about WESA is that when registering to play every year, you will sign up as an individual, rather than a team, and choose one of our two tiered divisions in which to register. This means that every year you will make new friends and play with new teammates. A member stays on the same team for the entire season.
It is not possible to register a team or partial team to play in WESA. All players are pooled together within the tiered division in which they sign up for and coaches assigned by the WESA Commission draft their teams for the season from the list of available players.
This universal draft process promotes the social and participation values that are such an important part of WESA culture and helps ensure that new and returning players alike and of all abilities have an opportunity to play.
Our Division Structure
In 2023, WESA updated the old D and C division structure to a new tiered division structure: Tier 1 and Tier 2. While both tiered divisions are competitive due to the nature of sport, both offer a friendly, fun, and social environment to play softball and make great friends.
Registration Dates for 2024
2024 season registration closed March 31, 2024. Any new registrations will be added to our waitlist. To add yourself to the waitlist:
WESA offers the free-to-members "Softball Essentials program" for rookies and novice players. This four-week program runs in the pre-season and focuses on teaching the basic skills (i.e., throwing & catching, infield & outfield, running bases, and batting) as well as providing an introduction to, and practical knowledge of, the game of slo-pitch softball.
