January 5, 2026- New Late Registration Policy

To all members, parents and Waterloo community,

The WYSO has adopted a new policy regarding late registrations and will be implementing it with our 2026 registrations. Please know that we are trying to make sure we work and function as efficiently as possible to ensure a positive experience. The policy is listed below.

If there are any questions or concerns, they can be directed to the secretary at secretary@waterlooyouthsports.com.

WYSO will open each program for approximately 4-6 weeks. We will advertise through email, Facebook, our website, and through an email from school. After the regular registration period is over, any late registrations will have a $20 late fee for one week. After that time, directors will have discretion in accepting late registrations beyond the deadline on a case by case basis with officer approval only. Exemptions from this rule are the following sports …Wrestling.

2026 Softball

Registration closes end of day March 29th.

WE ARE IN NEED OF COACHES THIS YEAR!! PLEASE CHECK THE BOX WITHIN REGISTRATION IF YOU ARE WILLING TO HELP AND/OR REACH OUT TO THE DIRECTOR IF YOU ARE INTERESTED! softball@waterlooyouthsports.com

This registration is intended for all girls interested in playing 8u machine pitch through High School (14U) Recreational Softball. These teams are involved in league play that involves some travel.
If there is enough interest for a 16U or 18U level team, we will definitely give it a try!
Again this year, we will not be doing the skills group and move those players right into machine pitch for learning purposes and to continue to move the softball program forward.
Girls who have had 1 year of tball are strongly encouraged to sign up for machine pitch. It is recommended that girls start with machine pitch as early as possible for success. In machine pitch, players all get 5 machine pitches. If they do not hit from the machine, they will have 3 opportunities on the tee then.

If you have concerns or questions, please reach out to our softball director Linda Lawless at softball@waterlooyouthsports.com
