Welcome to West Jeff Baseball

SKILL EVALUATIONS FOR 8-14 YR OLD COMPETITIVE TEAMS: 

OCTOBER 5, 2024, CONIFER HIGH SCHOOL

Register TODAY!

  • Registration now open!
  • The WJBB Skill Evaluation for spring 2025 is Oct. 5, 2024 at Conifer High School Baseball Field.
    • Skill Evaluations: This skill evaluation tests players in a number of areas: hitting, fielding ground balls, base running, catching fly balls, long toss, and pitching. 
    • Attendance is Required for all players seeking to find a spot on a Competitive West Jeff Baseball team. Come baseball ready and leave plenty of time for warmup. 
    • Calling all 8 Year Olds: We ask that all players in both of our programs who will be 8 by 4/30/25 come and have their skills evaluated. Attending Skill Evaluations does not mean you have to accept a Competitive league invitation to play. Skill Evaluations at this age offers an important opportunity to see where your player falls in their skill development, regardless if your player wants to move to Competitive league, or attend another year in Rec league as an 8 yr old.
    • Missed Skill Evaluations? If you move to the area and missed the Oct. 5 events, please contact westjeffgm@gmail.com to see if we can work with you to find a team for your player. 
  • Team Formation: Coaches start drafting teams in mid- to late October after Skill Evaluations...these teams will play the following Spring. Coaches base their team formation decisions not only on player performance during Skill Evaluations, but also on sportsmanship, work ethic, player behavior, parent behavior, and more. Families can choose to accept or pass on a team invitation to play.
  • Practices can begin anywhere from January to March, depending on the coach. Coaches choose practice days and times for their individual teams. Some teams invest in indoor practices during the winter months, before outdoor fields are open.
  • Season Start and End Dates: The 14-game Competitive league season starts mid-March and goes through mid-May for 14 yr olds; and April 1 through the end of June for 8-13 yr olds. 
  • Complete the Season/Keep Your Commitment: As a courtesy to your teammates, their families, and the opposing teams, it is important that WJBB players/families follow through with their baseball commitment each year and complete the scheduled season they sign up for. When there are not enough players, teams have to forfeit games. Communicate with your coach well in advance about any family trips that could impact the season. 
  • Registration for Competitive league generally opens in August or September, ahead of tryouts. 
  • Pricing: The 2024-2025 fee for competitive baseball is $350. This fee includes game and practice fields, umpires, team equipment, and insurance. Uniforms, tournaments, and indoor practices (scheduled as needed by coaches) are not included. 
  • League games are typically played on week nights; half in the Evergreen area, half at fields in the Denver metro area. This leaves weekends open for those teams that wish to participate in tournament play. 
  • Players can become part of the Competitive league starting at age 8. They must be 8 by April 30 to play with the 8-yr-old division. However, our parent league allows players to join teams that reflect their "grade" age too, even if they've not met the age criteria. There is also opportunity for players to attend skill evaluations in an effort to "play up" if they don't meet the age or grade criteria.
  • Ages/Grades: The 8U division corresponds with 2nd grade; 9U, third grade; 10U, fourth grade; 11U, fifth grade; 12U, sixth grade; 13U, seventh grade; 14U, eighth grade. 
  • Refund Policy: If a player is not offered a spot on a team, they will receive a 100% refund. Refunds for the cancellation of a registration prior to team formation will include a $25 processing fee (plus credit card fees, if applicable). After the official formation of teams, but prior to the start of league games, any refunds will be 50% of the original registration costs (plus credit card fees if applicable). WJBB must receive the cancellation via email to westjeffgm@gmail.com. After the start of league games, there will be no refunds.
  • Younger Players: Looking for programming for younger players? Check out our Rec League for 4-8 yr olds. Look under the "Leagues" tab for more info. That registration opens January 1.
