Thunder Softball
What is West Madison Thunder Softball? West Madison Thunder (Thunder) Softball is a travel softball program intended for West Madison Little League (WMLL) players and families looking for additional opportunities for fun, skill development, and personal growth beyond WMLL’s current spring/summer and fall seasons of play.
Ages
8-16 Years (dependent on player/coach numbers at each age level)
Tryouts - 2026 Season
Softball tryouts will take place the week of July 7th, 2025, at WMLL (701 Forward Drive, Madison, WI). Exact days/times will be communicated with the WMLL community once finalized.
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 regular season games. We also target tournaments within a 90-minute drive of Madison, WI.
PRACTICES
Indoor winter training begins in January, with the season concluding in August.
FEES
Tryout: $10
Full Season: 8U $400; 9U-16U $695
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 must also be an active participant of WMLL in the spring/summer season of play. Thunder players are encouraged, but not required, to participate in the WMLL fall season.
