Jr. Division

Instructional (non-competitive) league focusing on the development of baseball, personal, and team skills in a positive environment. The league and coaches will not track wins and losses during the regular season.

Players are placed on teams according to parental requests (friend/coach), school boundary, and/or neighborhood. Please note that while most requests are honored, some requests cannot be accommodated due to logistic reasons (i.e. too many players on one team, no one has volunteered to coach, late registration, etc.).

Lombard Baseball League emphasizes that players should play different positions during the season and coaches teach players to make the “correct” baseball play.

The age requirements follow the school year (age on August 31st). Practices generally start in late March with games continuing through May and June. The season ends by the 4th of July. Ideally, each team has 11-12 players, both boys and girls.
