Wheatland Athletic Association

The Wheatland Athletic Association (WAA) http://www.waasports.org is a non-profit parent volunteer organization which provides Youth Athletic Programs to all residents of the District 204 school community (Naperville/Aurora, Illinois) and surrounding areas. WAA was founded in 1977 to provide T-Ball for 60 children. Today they have over 15,000 participants for children 2 - 18 was well as adult programs. Wheatland offers, soccer, baseball, softball and basketball for both boys and girls. The level of play goes from recreational to the more intense travel programs.

The Wheatland philosophy is to progressively develop children's skills by offering programs for various age levels. As they develop, the children are taught the value of good sportsmanship and teamwork. Our intent is for the children to have FUN and to learn to enjoy the sport they play. Many of the WAA programs are noncompetitive which provide a non-threatening and a positive experience for the children. Competitive leagues are also available for the more skillful and experienced players. 

Team Chicago is the travel soccer program of the WAA. http://www.teamchicagosoccer.org

Wheatland Ducks Baseball Club began in 2002 with one travel team and has since grown to twelve teams, ranging in age from 10-15. The original Ducks team was primarily composed of players from the WAA Wheatland Majors baseball program, which continues to fuel growth in the Ducks program. The primary focus of the program has always been developing young men of character and class. The program offers kids about 50-60 games and year-round training and instruction. All Ducks teams are coached by experienced volunteers and supported by generous sponsors from the local business community. http://www.waasports.org/ducks.htm
