About West Seattle Little League

Since its beginning in 1958, West Seattle Little League has been dedicated to building character, courage and loyalty in local area youth by providing a fun, safe, and competitive baseball program.

WSLL provides an opportunity for West Seattle youth between the ages of 5 and 18, boys and girls, to participate in one of America’s oldest and most esteemed youth league organizations. Every child is guaranteed playing time in every game.

All children ages 5 –18 are encouraged to join West Seattle. We offer teams in the following divisions:

T-Ball Ages 5 - 6
(AA) Coach Pitch Ages 6 - 8
(AAA) Minors Ages 8 - 10
Majors Ages 10 - 12
Juniors Ages 13 - 14
Seniors * Ages 15 - 16
Big League * Ages 16 - 18

* Season Starts 2nd Week of May
(For league age purposes a player’s age is determined as of April 30). For example, if a player is born on May 1, 1999, that would make he/she league age 10 for the 2010 season. If their birthday was April 30, 1999- that would make he/she league age 11. Still not sure? Here is a league age calculator.

History of Bar-S

Until 1840, the site was a meadow with salty marshes in the low spots. An Indian village known as Me-Kwa-Mooks was established there, and in 1901 it was the birthplace of Chief Jim Moses, a grand-nephew of Chief Seattle.

After the white settlers left Alki for the other side of Elliott Bay (now downtown Seattle), West Seattle was slow to develop and was not annexed to Seattle until 1907.

When Little League began a surge in popularity in the early 1950s, community members and a sponsor of league teams asked the Park Board and offered to help acquire and/or develop a new field. The meadow owned by the city for the purpose of the sewage treatment plant was not needed, and the City Council authorized its use for 10 years as a ballfield.

It was named Bar-S Little League Field in return for the development work the company did to improve it.

Metro acquired the treatment plant, in 1960, minus the Bar-S property.
