This is a reminder that we are required to wear masks properly, covering mouth and nose during all basketball practices and games. This includes all players and parents. We are permitted by the City of Springfield to use the school gymnasiums. If we lose our permits due to mask violations, this could result in the end of the basketball season and we will not be able to issue refunds for this reason. Thank you to everyone for your cooperation.
We have gotten word that the City of Springfield will be doing a limited season for Instructional (Biddy) boys and girls. Registration is now open on the Online registration page. This is for kids ages 5-7 years old. Must turn 5 11/1/2021 and cannot turn 8 before 04/01/2022. Registrations are limited to the first 24 players for this age group.
Cost for this age group is $80 and that includes uniforms.
We have gotten word that we will be having a basketball season this year, although it looks as if it will be competitive divisions only (WMCYO). We normally offer instructional (Biddy) as well, but there has been no communication that this league will be holding a season and we anticipate that they will not.
For competitive divisions, we will have Basketball signups open online *Registration Website* beginning October 11.
In Person signups will be held at the Christ Presbyterian Church (1597 Allen St) on Saturday, October 16 from 12:30 P.M. to 2:30 P.M. and on Friday, October 22 from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M.
We will be following all of the Covid-19 restrictions and guidelines. Masks will be mandatory and spectators may be limited at basketball practices and games.
*We are in need of coaches. Please let us know if you’re interested. Equipment and practice locations are provided.*
Hello Wilshire families!
Many of us have already begun to look forward to this year’s winter basketball season. We are currently waiting to hear back from the league on whether a season will be possible this year. We are still hopeful that the kids will be able to play and we are waiting on guidance on how to move forward. Please note that if there is a season, it is highly likely that masks will be mandatory, and there is a possibility that spectators may be limited. We are making every attempt to keep the kids active and playing the safest way possible and will need to follow the rules that both the city and league issue. Please continue to check our Facebook page and/or website as we will be providing updates on registration as soon as we have more information.
*We are currently looking for basketball coaches. Please contact us if you might be interested. Equipment/practice locations will be provided. *

Good Evening!! Soccer season is a go. If you are interested in coaching please Reach out ASAP! All players must be registered and paid for by 03/27/2021.
They are allowing 6U, 8U, 10U , and this year only 13U. Do not delay these are hard closing dates.
We are still awaiting word from the SYSL if Soccer will be holding a Season this spring including any details so we can keep those interested informed.
We do know this. If they do have a season, we will need to follow all the guidelines that the CDC, HEALTH DEPT and SYSL put in place for spring sports.
We also would need to follow all the rule changes that are in place for soccer games! Things like NO HEAD BALLS ALL DIVISIONS, NO THROW IN, CORNER KICKS, AND MORE.
In the 10U and 12U there would be no playoffs as that is considered tournament play and that is still a NO in the CDC guidelines for all sports. SYSL would be looking to start the season mid-late April(19th or 26th) with a 8 game schedule for the season in all divisions.
Please stay tuned as we continue to find out more information. We will be basing how we proceed as an organization regarding soccer of of that and will be transparent throughout.
As we approach the restart of Youth Sports with Wilshire Athletic Association, we want to make sure all parents understand the guidelines that have been put in place by the CDC as well as the sports leagues we play for. Players will need to:
Players and spectators will need to keep in compliance with the rules that will be set forth by the league where we play. Facemask must always be worn properly and if a player continuously violates the facemask policy they will be removed from the field of play for the remainder of the game. If a subsequent violation occurs, they will be removed from the team. Due to the ever- changing conditions there is the possibility that there will be restrictions on the number of parents/guardians/spectators allowed at the practices and games. Our refund policy will remain the same as it has always been.
*Reg must be paid in full in order to receive a spot-on roster. No uniforms will be given without full payment. We are under a very tight timeline so there will not be any payment plans available.
Refund Policy
We will be opening our online registration for baseball today for children ages 7 to 12 only. It will be open until Wednesday March 17th at which time we have to notify the league of how many teams we will have. We are still waiting to hear from the soccer league but anticipate that we will be doing those registrations later this month for approximately the same ages. We hope to see you back out on the field this season!
We will sadly have to cancel the last two skills and drills sessions for the season (Oct 17th & Oct 24th). With Springfield falling and remaining in the “Red” category, and the City announcing a 2 week suspension of school sports, the Board has decided that we must follow suit. We will always put the health and safety of our players first. We are very grateful to have had the opportunity to offer these practice sessions to the community and will continue to think of creative ways to get kids active and moving.
We are hoping to have the ability to offer spring sports, so please be sure to check in on our Facebook page or website over the next couple of months. We will continue to follow the guidance of our City & State leaders and have high hopes that we’ll all be back on the fields soon. We wish you all a healthy and happy winter. See you in the Spring!
The Wilshire Board
