LJAL Preparing for Baseball & Softball Season

Lisbon Junior Athletic League is preparing for Baseball & Softball Season!

The Lisbon Junior Athletic League (LJAL) is busy planning the Summer Softball and Baseball seasons. It is hard to look past the cold weather and snow that we see daily, but ball games are just around the corner.

For those of you that are not familiar with the Lisbon Junior Athletic League it is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing wholesome, enjoyable baseball and softball programs for the youth of Lisbon and its surrounding towns. The organization is run by volunteers that are elected to the board and is dependent upon the wonderful group of volunteer coaches.

This is the time of year when LJAL plans clinics, schedules games, plans field maintenance, orders uniforms and equipment and begin looking for sponsors. LJAL would love to have more coaches and volunteers for the different groups of kids ranging in age from 5 to15. The divisions are as follows:

Baseball
T-Ball (ages 5 & 6)
Farm (ages 7, 8 & 9)
Cal Ripken (ages 10, 11 & 12)
Babe Ruth (ages 13, 14 & 15)

Baseball Age Cut off April 30th

Softball
T-Ball (ages 5, 6 & 7)
U10 (ages 8, 9 & 10)
