West Raleigh Baseball Association

West Raleigh Baseball Association runs youth baseball out of Barringer Drive in southwest Raleigh. More than 500 kids take part, from four-year-olds just learning the game up to twelve-year-olds, and teams are grouped into leagues by age.

Community, player development and sportsmanship are what the association says it cares about most. Beyond the regular leagues there are all-star teams for players who want a higher level of competition, and the whole program is run for the neighborhood around it. It is the kind of local league that fills spring evenings with games.

What to know

• Registration opens ahead of each season.
• Schedules and standings are posted so families can keep up with games.
• The association’s affiliations bring certified rules and age-appropriate competition.
