Host a Clinic or Workshop
Our organization’s greatest asset is YOU, the coach!
We need community based coaches who love the game, want to grow the game, and believe that all girls should have the opportunity to play baseball in a safe, supportive, and positive environment. Join our network of recreational, travel team, and high-school level coaches, who are helping to grow the game for girls in Wisconsin. Support our outreach efforts to find MORE girls who play, or want to play baseball!
Become a Community Coach
We are NOT a regular season team;
We offer supplemental opportunities (clinics/training, exhibition games) and a network for national and global opportunities through other organizations such as Baseball For All, MLB Develops and more. There are opportunities to form tournament teams to participate in all-girls tournaments across the U.S. Eventually, we aim to develop a Midwest all-girls tournament. We want to keep girls playing in their community, so that she can be a role model for other girls…trailblazing the way for future generations.
We believe in the See Her, Be Her philosophy. As such, we will provide female coaches the first opportunity to coach all-girls games and tournaments, but will call upon our Community Coaches when additional support is needed.
We need support from local baseball organizations to join us as a Community Coach to help mentor the future high-school, college and players of the WPBL. As a Community Coach, you will coach, mentor and support girl baseball players. Our vision is to develop these girls and young women not only as players, but as umpires, coaches and leaders; on AND off the field. There are 34+ successful all-girls programs across the U.S., it’s OUR time to provide the girls and young women of Wisconsin the same support!
We strive to provide these girls a strong community
Your involvement as a community coach helps us provide year-round-girls-only clinics, that will improve their skills and increase their confidence; keeping them in the game they LOVE to play. Additionally, we will work together to draw upon our networks to help connect players with other players for camaraderie, players with coaches that welcome and support girl players in their league, coaches looking to mentor female coaches, and organizations seeking diversity among their umpires.
The best way to see what all-girls baseball is about is to host a clinic, event or workshop at your facility or field. We handle all the marketing, registration and communication for your event, so that you can focus on what you do best!
Most importantly, we can connect more girls in your community with our larger community of girl baseball players in Wisconsin, so that no girl feels alone. Many of the girls within our program play on Little League or Travel Ball teams where they may be the only girl on their team.
A typical clinic will have 8-12 participants (we want to grow these numbers!) and last 1.5-2 hours. Clinics can be general, position specific, hitting, umpiring, coaching or strength and agility, etc.

Girls in Baseball
Girls and women have been part of the game of baseball since the 1860s. In the 1940s, the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League was founded in the Midwest. 1973 marks a shift in attitudes towards girls and women playing baseball, when Little League lost their case in the Supreme Court to ban Maria Pepe and girls like her.
Opportunities to Play
Girls have 1.3 million fewer opportunities to play high school sports than boys have. Despite this disparity, there are a growing number of opportunities in baseball for women. There are all-girl youth baseball teams, 6 women’s college teams and a USA Nationals Women’s team. There are women playing, coaching and umpiring professional and college baseball. In the summer of 2026, six teams will begin their first season in the Women’s Pro Baseball League.
Despite the benefits of actively participating in sports, only 1 in 3 girls between the ages of 6-12 participate in sports on a regular basis. By the time they reach their teens, 40% of girls are not actively participating in sports. Despite a long history in baseball, many girls are told to stop playing and switch to another sport, simply because of their gender. Baseball For All was founded by Justine Siegal after being told that baseball is for boys, and softball is for girls.
Secret in the Spotlight
After the 1974 Supreme Court ruling, Little League formed an alternative softball division for girls. Since then, softball has grown in popularity among girls and is commonly believed to be “baseball” for girls. In November 2009, however, the NCAA ruled that baseball and softball are two different sports. As such, a school having a softball team is not a legal reason why a girl could be denied an opportunity to play baseball.
