WBA TRAVEL Player Eligibility Guidelines

Players that live within the Willmar School District boundaries, attend school at a Willmar Public School (WPS) or attend Community Christian School (CCS) are eligible to participate in Willmar Baseball Association (WBA) traveling baseball.

Players that live outside the boundaries in a surrounding community may be eligible only if their community does not offer traveling baseball. If there is a bona fide baseball association or youth traveling baseball offered in the player’s home community, the player would not be eligible unless waived by their home community baseball association. Each player applying to play WBA traveling baseball from an outside community needs to complete the “Official Player Waiver” application. Each application will be reviewed on an individual basis by the WBA Board and would require MYAS approval.

The following guidelines also apply to all WBA players and teams. Teams that do not comply with the WBA policies and standards will not recognized by this WBA and will be deemed as a renegade/or All-star team.
