TRAVEL LEAGUE -

Game Schedules - Scores - Standings

Please note: For those interested in playing travel baseball, you must pay your $150 per player initial fee before February 14th to avoid the $20 late registration fee.

Ages 9-12 must play in our House League to participate in our Travel League

North Shore Travel league games begin in early June and end with a season ending tournament in late July.

14 year olds

The 14 year-old teams for 2010 will be LBYBA teams. This is different from 2009, when the 14 year old teams were combined with LFBA. LFBA has chosen to participate in a new summer league and therefore will not be in the North Shore League. The A team will participate in Mike's Memorial in the spring and in the North Shore League in the summer. The B team will play in the Spring Fever League in the spring (Vernon Hills based league) and the North Shore League in the summer.

13 year olds

House league will be optional for the 13 year olds.  The 13A team will play in Mike’s Memorial and the North Shore Leagues.  The 13B team will play in Spring Fever and North Shore Leagues.  All boys interested should register online.  Late registration will be available during tryouts.

9-12 year olds

We have planned for paid coaches at several age levels.  Final details are still being worked out and will be communicated after the teams are formed.  These age groups play in the North Shore League and may also be entered in 1 tournaments.  There will be two teams: A and B if the numbers allow.  For the 9 year old team, children who are in 2nd grade are allowed to tryout.  All boys interested should register online.  Late registration will be available during tryouts.

North Shore Rules - Tryouts

Alll players can only tryout for one North Shore Baseball League team regardless if the player makes the team or not.  For example, if a child tries out for a Lake Forest team and doesn’t make it, he/she is not eligible to tryout in Lake Bluff (and vice versa).

North Shore Age Limit Rules

Players play their age as of May 1st.

Please note, LBBA strongly encourages children, if eligible, to play with their classmates versus playing up/down a grade.  For example, a 4th grader that doesn’t turn 10 until May 2nd is technically eligible to play with the 9 year old team, even though most 4th graders will play on the 10 year old team.  It is expected most will want to play at their grade level, but it is the family’s decision if they want to play their child up/down a grade.

Estimated Travel Team Fees:

9 & 10 & 11 year olds  $400 (parent coaches)

12 year olds  $650 Paid coaches

13 year olds  $725 Paid coaches

14 year olds TBD
