WAYBS Vision for 2026-2027: To continue to support Woodstock Rec's efforts in improving the baseball experience for our youth, including raising money via an annual appeal to complete the improving youth baseball programs and facilities.

​

We aim to raise up to $10,000 over the next 2 years for the following exciting projects for youth baseball:

• Install semi permanent batting cage at Vail ($5,000). The current temporary cage blew down in a wind storm summer of 25.  We repaired it temporarily.  The cage would be able to be taken down for winter skating and hockey and other Vail events.   ​​

• Purchase new landing area for portable mound ($150). The current mound surface (2 years old) is getting dangerous for landing with 10U, 12U and Middle School programs all using the mound. 

• Purchase new used or repair current pitching machine ($1,000). Current machine was donated by the Lake Monsters.  

• Install new water fountain/bottle station with Rec

• Help install an electric outlet to batting cage area/field area for pitching machine ($2,000)

• Annual maintenance for field dragger ($500)

• Second mound for bullpen area (that mound is ending its useful life ($1,000) Portable mounds allow them to be moved for activites at Vail. Ideally we have two mounds for home and away.  

• Equipment needs that the Rec cannot fund--additional baseballs, which get lost or rain soaked ($200)

These items are an aggressive two year plan that will keep the excitment high for youth baseball in the Woodstock Area.
