Juniors FAQ

1 - What is the difference between “weekday” and “weekend”?

Weekend athletes will enter and play in weekend tournaments at locations throughout the State in addition to playing weekday games within the Badgerland League or similar. Weekday only athletes will play in the Badgerland League and will compete against other area teams within ~45 min of Sun Prairie. Weekday only athletes will generally play two games/week.

Regardless of registration type, all athletes must participate in a tryout/assessment.

2 - When are tryouts/assessments?

Tryouts will be held April 7th, 2024 at East High School on Summit Field. Please bring sneakers/tennis shoes and cleats to tryouts on April 7th. We may move tryouts indoors as necessary. April 14th will be our rain date and, if necessary, tryouts will be held inside on the 14th.

3 - Will we compete against comparable teams?

The weekend teams will be entered into tournaments and compete against other teams that are appropriate for their skill level. We do our best to position our weekday teams against area competition to provide the best possible experience. However, our ability to do so is somewhat dependent on how many communities participate in the Badgerland League.

4 - How will the teams be determined?

All athletes will be evaluated and teams selected by the High School coaches.

• 14U Weekend athletes will be split into “A” East and “A” West teams. Additional 14U Weekend teams may be formed based on the number of players available.

• 13U Weekend athletes will be split into “A” and “B” teams. Additional 13U Weekend teams may be formed based on the number of players available. 

• 14U and 13U weekday teams will be created to be as competitively even as possible with a particular focus on the availability of pitchers and catchers. 

Only 14U Weekend teams will be created based on school attendance.

5 - How will coaches be selected?

The High School coaches will determine the coaching staff for all teams. 

6 - What happens if my child is not selected for a Weekend team?

All athletes will have the opportunity to play on a weekday only team. 

7 - What is the cost for Juniors?

We anticipate this year’s costs will be similar to 2023 and ~$300/athlete for weekday only athletes. Weekend athletes will have an additional cost based on the number and costs of tournaments.
