What is a WB Elite team?
WB Elite is program that has been incorporated by PONY leagues from other areas and we are trying to start in area. Basically it will be the best team that we can form for a given baseball age (i.e. 13U). The team will form from kids that are active in the WBAC league and will compete against other PONY elite teams in our area help make the entire Hampton Roads PONY area stronger. It will also provide an outlet for those teams/kids that would otherwise pull out of their PONY league to compete on their own. The Team Manager will be selected by WBAC-BC. Players will be determined by either a try-out or as determined by WBAC determined assessment. The Fall 2012 Elite teams forming are a pilot program that we plan to formally adopt into WBAC for Spring of 2013.
What is a WB Select Team?
WB Select is a Fall program where players are 'selected' to be on a team. These teams consist of players/coaches active in the WBAC Rec Spring program. These teams register with WBAC and are scheduled field time when available outside of the 'Rec' program. The intent is to provide those kids with desire attitude and ability the chance to play on a competitive team for the Fall season. And it provides a means for those teams to still be associated with WBAC and PONY baseball rather than leaving the league to form their own competitive teams. The number of teams per age group allowed will be determined by resources available to support the teams and not to the detriment of the WBAC Fall 'Rec' program. WBAC Select is a pilot program for Fall 2012 and if successful will be implemented formally for Fall 2013.
