West Bend Thunder was established in 2010 and currently hosts teams at the 2nd through 8th grade level. All players and families are from the West Bend area and we take pride in representing our community as we compete in the Wisconsin State Youth Baseball League. This league matches us against some of the best youth teams in Wisconsin.
Our program has a history of success, and is what we believe, the premier youth baseball opportunity in West Bend. Our club is run by excellent coaches and board members, who volunteer with the drive to provide a positive and competitive baseball experience while teaching the value of family, team, and community.
West Bend Thunder Inc. is a self-sustaining nonprofit organization. Our core values lead the way in providing youth the opportunity to compete at their highest level, succeeding on the field, in our community, and in life.

West Bend Thunder is a youth baseball program that participates in the WSYBL (Wisconsin State Youth Baseball League), which is a grade-based league consisting of teams representing communities throughout Southeast Wisconsin.
Thunder teams generally play 16-18 league games. West Bend Thunder teams also play in 4-5 tournaments during the season. One tournament usually includes an overnight stay, such as Wisconsin Dells.
Teams start indoor training in late January to encourage kids to play multiple sports. As the weather gets warmer, outside practices take place approximately one day per week. In-season practices will depend on game schedules.
Any child trying out must live within West Bend School District or attend a school within the West Bend School District. Kids must be at or below the grade level for the team they are trying out for.
We are looking for kids that love the game of baseball and are willing to develop their skills through hard work and practice. Good sportsmanship is top priority.
