Please See Season Schedule Above: We know it is summer and people take trips and go to the cabin. We ask that we all try our best to coordinate and when it just doesn't work out, please let your coaches know far enough in advance that the team can either adjust or move players between teams when necessary.

The Watertown Legion is a big supporter of all school activities and has donated to several worthwhile causes over the years.
In 2025 American Legion charitable giving to the schools in Watertown and Mayer, totaled over $17,000. The giving included all sorts of student enrichment experiences such as trips to compete in major competitions to new facilities within the physical spaces in the WT schools. Post 121 here in Watertown is family and we do what we can to help each generation as they learn and grow in our wonderful Watertown-Mayer schools. Investing in our community is a core value of the Legion.
The baseball program has been a long-standing and fun experience that allows the Legion to give back to the community in a fun and community building way. By giving youth healthy outlets to expend their energy, along the way we can help instill values that we believe make a Great American.
Baseball will be fun, but nothing says we cannot infuse words like honesty, integrity, and honor into the lessons we all will surely learn over the coming seasons. The Legion baseball experience is like extended family, and we take great pride in the trust you put in us to help you give your sons the opportunity to build memories and relationships they will cherish forever.
