ELIGIBILITY
WMLL PARTICIPATION: Thunder will supplement, not replace, WMLL’s spring/summer and fall seasons of play. As such, any player wishing to participate in a Thunder program for the 2026 season must also be an active participant of WMLL in the spring/summer 2026 season of play. Thunder players are encouraged, but not required, to participate in the WMLL fall season.
RESIDENCY (Baseball Only): Thunder baseball players must live or attend school in the Madison West, Madison Memorial or Middleton-Cross Plains high school attendance areas.
Tournaments
The program will target (4) travel tournaments for each team. These tournaments are scheduled around WMLL’s regular season, so as not to conflict with WMLL games. We also target tournaments within a 90-minute drive of Madison, WI.
