The winter season is fast approaching, and while that means the holiday season for a lot of us, the Baseball and Softball Committee is busy planning and organizing the spring season.

We are proud to announce that the registration process will open on Thursday, November 5, 2009 and continue to January 5, 2009. We are expecting a big turn out again for the spring and may have to limit our numbers due to field capacity issues.

WCAA Baseball and Softball is coordinating with the WCAA Basketball program to minimize game conflicts, to allow players to participate in both programs, but please be advised this will not resolve 100% of conflicts, especially with the size of our spring program.
Volunteer Registrations – Managers and Assistant Coaches must be registered by January 4, 2010 to be considered for a manager or assistant coach position.
Spring 2010 Information – Please follow this link to get details about each division and important dates for our Spring Season. You will find the answers for many of your questions here. If you still have questions or need further details, please contact the WCAA Baseball and Softball Committee.
We hope to see you and your family playing Baseball or Softball this spring season
In Memory of Harry Olsen...
Friday, October 23, 2009
The WCAA, and the Wesley Chapel and Land O'Lakes Communities were awakened by the sad news that one of their most prominent but yet inconspicuous members had passed away. Harry Olsen was a fixture as part of the Land O’ Lakes Little League program and a founding father and executive board member of the WCAA for seven years. His imprint on the community through his generous donation of his time and effort cannot be quantified at this time but surely will be in the coming years, as the children he coached, trained and fostered reach maturity and become the positive role models that he exemplified in his short time with us.
Harry leaves behind not only his lovely wife Sarah, his three children Harry IV, Grace and Anna, but a group of individuals, children and community members who were fortunate enough to be touched by his compassion, devotion and giving nature. Harry’s legacy is not only the growth and development of his own children but of the children of our communities as well.
Memorial information will be posted as it becomes available and can be accessed by clicking on the tab in the menu at the top left of this page or by clicking HERE.

New Lightning Detection System Installed at WESLEY CHAPEL DISTRICT PARK
WCAA is proud to announce that as part of its continuing effort to enhance the safety of our programs, WCAA has installed and donated a Thorguard Lightning Detection System to Wesley Chapel District Park. The system was installed last week and is now fully operational 7 days per week between the hours of 7am and 10pm.
The system will sound one 15 second horn blast whenever lighting is expected to strike within 2 miles of the sensor within 12-20 minutes. A stobe light will also flash continuously on top of the soccer concession building while the lightning danger persists. When the lightning danger has subsided, the system will sound three short blasts and the stobe light will turn off.
While the horn is designed to be heard throughout the park, it may be drowned out somewhat by noise at events far from the soccer concession stand, such as tackle football or baseball games. So if inclement whether is in the area and it is noisy where you are, look for the strobe light.
If a lightning alert is sounded while you are in the park, PLEASE take shelter in a building or in your vehicle. Earlier this month, two young boys in Virginia were killed by a lightning strike at a youth baseball game. Let's keep the kids safe!
