Information for Parents

Every player age 9-14 must attend tryouts with the appropriate age group to be included in the team selection process.

Player's "baseball age" is their age on April 30, 2008.

All 8-year olds will play Coach Pitch in 2008 unless they have been preselected for the Roberto Clemete team or tryout with the 9-year olds and are selected to play on a 9-year-old team. Players are allowed to "play up" one year, at the request of the parents and the acceptance of a coach for the older age team.

(Example, a 5 year old may request to play T-ball with players 6 and 7 years old or a 10-year old can request to play with an 11-year old team).

Any player trying to "play up" should try out with both age groups to protect a fallback position.

There are no tryouts for T-ball and Coach Pitch teams. Players are divided up and assigned to teams – 5 and 6-year olds play T-ball, 7 and 8-year olds play Coach Pitch.

Players/parents may request a specific coach by writing in the special request section of the registration form. Requests will be considered but are not a guarantee of placement.

Ages 10 thru 14 must try out and should indicate whether they are trying out for a higher-level team or desire to return to their 2007 team.

Tee-Ball and Coach Pitch Kids, Ages 5-8

T-Ball and Coach Pitch teams will play approximately 8 games in a May – June season. Players will learn the fundamentals of the game and be prepared to take the next steps in our competitive program.

Registration fees for the season are $75.00 and include a LJBA game shirt, baseball hat, and socks. Each player will provide their own baseball pants, glove, and appropriate shoes.

In addition, each player/family must participate in a league fundraiser or make a $35.00 donation to LJBA in lieu of the fundraiser.
