Frequently Asked Questions

WBL does not hold a player draft. Instead, teams register as a complete, pre-formed unit — your players and coach sign up together and stay together for the whole season. This keeps existing teams intact and lets keiki play alongside familiar teammates and coaches.

Because WBL is intact-teams-only with no draft, individual players need to join or form a team before registering. If you’re looking for a team, the best first step is to connect with other Windward families or reach out through our Contact page and we’ll do our best to point you in the right direction. to confirm

Yes. The Windward Baseball League is a non-profit youth baseball organization. Our mission is to give the keiki of Oʻahu a positive, affordable place to play — not to turn a profit.

For most youth baseball, players should plan on:

• A baseball glove that fits
• Baseball cleats (rubber/molded — metal cleats are typically not allowed at 8U)
• A batting helmet
• A bat that meets standard youth-league bat rules (the USA Baseball / USABat stamp is the common standard — please confirm with your coach)
• Water, sunscreen, and a hat for the Hawaiʻi sun

Final equipment requirements for WBL are to confirm.

Many teams share some equipment while players bring their own glove. WBL’s specific equipment policy is to confirm — your coach will let you know what the team provides.
