A youth baseball and t-ball family
Welcome to Minnetonka Big Willow Baseball Association, a youth baseball and T-ball league serving 4-year-olds to 12-year-olds at a beautiful baseball park on Minnetonka Boulevard. Our independent volunteer-run organization draws players primarily from the cities of Hopkins and Minnetonka and from the Hopkins and Minnetonka school districts, but also from other nearby communities, including Edina, St. Louis Park, Golden Valley, and Eden Prairie. We have a family-friendly atmosphere and emphasize player safety, having fun, player development and team competition - in that order. Spring house ball players receive priority registration for Summer ball.
Programs for all ages and skill levels
Ages are considered based on May 1st of the current season
- MITES: recreational T-ball, ages 4-6
- JUNIORS: developmental machine pitch, ages 7 and 8
- FARM: skills-building kid-pitch, ages 9 and 10
- MAJORS: competitive house league, ages 11 and 12
- TOURNAMENT TEAMS: ages 9-12
When registering for Spring or Summer House Ball., player development level should be considered in addition to age.

Adopt-A-Highway Thank You
Thanks for keeping our community clean!
Big Willow Families thanks to those who helped clean up Hwy 73 Hopkins Crossroads for the Adopt-a-Highway program. Our baseball association has been participating in the clean-up program since Jan. 2018. You may have noticed the signs on the boundaries of our district - by Hillside Ln W. on the North and Highway 7 on the South.
During the Hopkins Crossroad trail development project in 2024, our involvement will be on hold.
