Registration typically opens in December with divisions filling up as early as mid-January and registration closing before spring break.
Tryouts for high performance teams fall in February / March with evaluations for all other divisions happening during spring break.

Spring Baseball: April - June / July
Summer baseball is considered high performance and is usually only offered for 9U - 18U. Teams generally take the field mid-to-end of June, but must play spring to try out.
Note: 15U/18U AA teams and up are considered single-season teams and tryouts for these teams, with the exception of picking up a players due to injury, are formed in February/March.
Registration typically opens in early May with tryouts shortly after.

Summer Baseball: mid/end June to end/early July/August
Fall baseball is more casual is does not have any high performance aspects. You do not have to have played in the spring or summer to play in the fall. Schedules are more ad-hoc between local associations playing when convenient. It's a good introduction season for new players or players moving up divisions.
We usually offer Strength and Conditioning and/or Speed Agility sessions once Fall ball completes around mid-October. Check the conditioning tab for details.
Registration typically opens in early summer.

Fall Baseball - September - mid-October
WKMBA Winter Baseball Development Program
WKMBA believes in developing well-rounded athletes, not just baseball players. Our winter development program combines baseball-specific training with strength, conditioning, speed, and agility to help athletes build a strong foundation for long-term success.
Winter baseball consists of two components:
- Baseball Development: Indoor baseball training and repetitions at the multi-sport dome near Mar Jok Elementary.
- Athletic Development: Strength & Conditioning or Speed & Agility sessions at World Gym.
Why Is Athletic Development Important?
Research in youth athletic development shows that children can benefit from structured strength and movement training as early as 7–8 years old, provided the exercises are age-appropriate and properly supervised.
Our philosophy focuses on building the foundation before building the athlete.
For younger athletes, the emphasis is on learning proper movement patterns, balance, coordination, body control, and foundational strength. These skills create a base for more advanced training as athletes grow and develop.
For older athletes, particularly at the 15U and 18U levels, strength and conditioning become increasingly important. As athletes mature, developing strength, power, speed, and mobility helps them meet the increasing physical demands of baseball. Properly designed conditioning programs can improve throwing and hitting performance, support injury prevention, and prepare athletes for higher levels of competition.
Importantly, athletic development is progressive. The exercises, intensity, and expectations evolve with each athlete's physical maturity, abilities, and experience, rather than simply their age.
While our conditioning programs incorporate movements that benefit baseball performance, they aren't exclusively baseball-focused. We believe that developing overall athleticism helps athletes perform better, reduces their risk of injury, and prepares them for success in any sport they choose to pursue.
Our goal isn't simply to create better baseball players for next season. It's to develop stronger, healthier, more confident athletes for years to come.
In 2024, we started offering Strength & Conditioning classes and have added Speed & Agility in the fall of 2025. We have offered 2 sessions in the past, from Nov - December break and another from January to Spring Break. We may open sessions starting September for 2026 as a 3rd session. West Kelowna Minor Baseball runs these classes as partnerships and only facilitates registration.
For 2026, we are looking at starting the week of October 19th and will be moving all classes to World Gym.
The Strength & Conditioning and Speed & Agility programs focus on developing age-appropriate strength, speed, coordination, and athletic movement patterns specific to baseball. These sessions help players improve their on-field performance, reduce the risk of injury, and build a strong athletic foundation for long-term development.
