2025 Pinto Summer House League

Pinto Summer League – NEW FORMAT

The objective of the Pinto Summer House League is to help rising 2nd & 3rd graders further develop their baseball skills while at the same time increasing their understanding of the rules of the game.

In response to parent feedback, WBA is offering two options for summer baseball that we hope will meet everyone’s needs. 

FOR Current 2nd Graders who are interested in a more competitive format. 

 WBA will enter teams in the CSYBA league. Families can expect approximately two games a week played on the beautiful fields of Wilmette and throughout the North Shore. This will be a competitive league with the understanding that kids and families have other commitments. 

Teams will be coached by parent volunteers (as in Spring House league).

We will make every effort to accommodate friend requests. 

Dates:
Regular Season: June 9th - July 24th
Championship Tournament: July 26th – August 2nd 

Fee:
$225 (includes a jersey & hat)

For players interested in a more instruction focused summer program.

For current 1st and 2nd graders that would like to focus their summer on honing their fundamental baseball skills WBA is offering a combination program of skill and games. The program will run on two weekdays. 

Every week each team will have 90min of skills clinics. Clinics will be led by senior level IBA coaches assisted by parent volunteers and will focus on developing fundamental skills with the goal of giving young players confidence to enjoy playing baseball.

In addition to the skills clinics, there will be a weekly game. Games will be umpired by IBA coaches who will use this opportunity to coach baseball IQ. Having the coaches involved in the games will allow them to work with the players on situations, teaching the fielders to reach quickly to determine where they need to be, in the context of a real game. It also provides an opportunity for the coaches to see which skills need added focus and guides them in the planning of subsequent clinics.

Friend requests are welcome, and WBA will do their best to accommodate.
