Summer Baseball

History

For the summer of 2024 WBL baseball will offer Legion and VFW baseball. The White Bear Lake coaching staff has created three teams to offer better schedules, select competition, and more practice to develop skill sets. This allows us to be ahead of the curve and also keep players in White Bear Lake over the summer to gain valuable knowledge and team bonding. This will ultimately lead to their success in the high school program provided by the current high school coaches. 

Goals

The coaching staff is committed to developing all players that play summer baseball. Our philosophy is to get everyone into games while also being competitive. Playing time will not always be equal, but players will get plenty of game and practice reps. We are committed to fun, hard work, and team/player building on and off the field.
