What’s New in 2026?

No price increases for 2026:  We are happy to announce keeping prices the same as the previous season!

Select Still Rolling:  Select baseball/softball continues to grow for most of our 8 and up age divisions.  Simply mark on registration your interest in learning more and expect more communication shortly after the season begins for concurrent play/development for stronger players.

Merging Ages in Lower Divisions:  In previous years, we tried separating Peanuts 4 y/o and 5 y/o along with Farm 6 y/o and 7 y/o at registration, only to have to merge them in the end because of an imbalance of coaches and player requests.  This year, that merge is reflected in registration.

Volunteer Roles Simplified with Flexibility and Support:  You will notice changes to volunteer roles to keep some simpler, others with flexibility, and all with more support.  Volunteer with confidence and enthusiasm as we are entirely volunteer-run!

With those updates in mind, here’s a few more details and reminders to help you prepare for the 2026 WCLL baseball/softball season…

More Helpful Registration Information:

-Little League ID Number 4050406: For the School Enrollment Form, you will need our Little League ID Number and it is 4050406.  

-Most Registration Documents Can Be Uploaded Later:  School enrollment form and proof of residency within boundaries are examples of documents that can be uploaded after you register, checkout, and pay.  So do not let those steps slow down registering.  We will need those steps completed before January, though.

Please register your player(s) as soon as possible and if fees above do not match what you see when you register, or you have general registration questions, please reach out to Scott Thompson at [email protected] or Ryan Hisamoto at [email protected].  

General inquiries can also be sent to [email protected] or [email protected]. 

We are so excited to get back to preparation for the spring 2026 season and cannot wait to see you out there at the fields to watch these kids play ball!  

Best Regards,

Walnut Creek Little League Board of Directors
