[updated: July 15th]

Westtown Express is playing a modified season against other Chester County Legion teams from July through mid-October. Coaches have been in touch with confirmed registered players and will continue to communicate games as they get scheduled. Because the season will not be under the Legion banner, play will be a bit more relaxed than Legion regular season games, but will remain quite competitive. We have fielded two teams, a Youth Legion team for ages 13-15 and a Senior Legion team for ages 16-19. Younger players may have the opportunity to play up, especially as we move into fall when some of our college players head back to school.The first Senior game is on July 18th at Paoli (10:00; Church Farm School Field) and the first Youth game will be on the schedule shortly.

Field availability across the county will dictate the schedule, but as in typical summer Legion leagues, we do not anticipate playing anywhere further south than Oxford or further north than Spring City. At the moment WCASD fields are closed to organized group activities through August 31st, so the majority of games this summer will be away games as we continue to search for alternate fields to play on. Several home games will be scheduled at the Glen Mills Schools' baseball fields for later in August. There may not be the opportunity to conduct team practices, so players should start working out on their own to get ready for the season and pitchers should begin to throw bullpen sessions. The plan is for the league to be wood bat, but players should bring their aluminum bats as well, in case their wood bat breaks or if there is agreement between coaches to also allow aluminum bats.

The final registration fees will be communicated once we have definitive plans on the anticipated number of games and will be commiserate with covering our costs, but are expected to be significantly lower than traditional Spring Legion season fees. Registration fee checks will be collected at the first game (make checks out to "Westtown Legion Baseball" and place players name in memo line). There will likely be a modest discount for players who, because of school plans, will only be available for the summer portion of the season. We are still accepting online registrations at the second tab above.
