Due to various conflicts, the date/time for the Major Division Skills Evaluation has changed. It will now be held on the following day/time...
Saturday, March 31st 11:30AM - 1:30PM in the LMS Gymansium
Thank you for your understanding, as it is our desire to have as many kids attend as possible.
Also, we are still looking for volunteers to coach at the Major Division. If you are interested, please notify a board member.
Important dates to for LBA parents to remember are the skills assessments for rookies, minors, and majors. This year, skills assessments will be on the following days:
- Minors Mar 24 09:00AM-12:00PM LMS Gymnasium
- Majors Mar 31 11:30PM-1:30PM LMS Gymnasium
- Rookies Mar 31 09:30AM-11:30PM LMS Gymnasium
Rookie Clinics will be held at Talent Hall. Players are required to bring there gloves, hat and sneakers (no cleats).
March 27th
(Tuesday) Rookie Baseball Clinic 6:30pm – 8:00pm for player with the last name that starts with letters A-L
March 29th
(Thursday) Rookie Baseball Clinic 6:30pm – 8:00pm for players with the last name that starts with letters M-Z
Teams like to start practices as early as possible (usually mid to late April), which of course depends a lot on the weather. It takes approximately three weeks to organize the teams (manager, coach, and player selections) and order sufficient number of shirts, hats, balls, etc.
When will games begin?
Games typically begin first week of May. Some divisions could start earlier; however, this will be up to each division coordinator. Game schedules cannot be confirmed until the number of teams that will be playing this year is known, which is another reason for early skills assessments. When to exact dates of each game is known, the LBA calendar will be updated, so check it often in April.
Will baseball games conflict with soccer or lacrosse?
No. LBA arranges regularly scheduled games so that the games will not conflict with other sports.
My child is on a travel baseball team, can my child play town ball?
Yes. LBA arranges regularly schedled games to not conflict with travel baseball games.
