Q & A for Lion’s Baseball
Does my son have to be planning on attending Lutheran High School?
No, your son does not have to be planning on attending Lutheran to play on the Lion’s U12/U13 team. It would be my hope by the time they are playing C-prep (summer after they graduated from 8th grade) that all those players will be planning on attending Lutheran or at least strongly considering it.
How many teams are you planning on?
Originally we were planning on two teams one in U13 and one in C-prep. The feedback I have received so far sounds like a team in U12 and U13 is more of a possibility. It is my goal to have as many teams as can be filled.
What level will the boys be playing?
The goal is to put the teams we have in the most competitive level we can find for them, but at the same time put them in a level that is age and talent appropriate, that at the same time allows us to have full teams. This could mean some kids that are U12 will be playing up on the U13 team if they are physically able to compete there.
Will there be tryouts?
Yes.
How many kids on a team are you planning on having?
13 possibly 14 kids is the max number we desire to have on a team. We feel this allows the most playing time for each kid to improve and reach their max potential in practice and game situations.
How much will it cost?
The goal of Lion’s baseball is to give the kids the best possible equipment, coaching and uniforms while making it as affordable as possible. The ballpark figure we are discussing right now is $600 per child plus an additional fee for any tournaments and baseball pants and socks as the uniforms will just be a top and cap. We feel this number will allow us to pay for the league, equip the boys and provide uniforms that will be reused each year.
How many games will be played?
The goal of Lion’s baseball is to put together a positive learning environment allowing each kid to maximize their potential and growth in baseball in the most competitive way possible, while at the same time not taking away their entire summer. AYL plays around 24 games. All games and practices will be on weekdays. The goal is to get in a few tournaments on weekends as desired, but overall to give the kids and families the weekends off.
Where will the Lion’s practice?
AYL does rent field time for teams to practice during the week. If for some reason there is inclement weather the Lion’s will have full use of Lutheran’s indoor facilities, which includes the gym and an indoor hitting room which will have 3 batting cages.
When will the Lion’s practice?
Practice times will be determined by AYL as far as field use and rental time goes, most times are in the evening. Practice times at the school will be scheduled around the high school athletics first. Winter workouts will be scheduled and most likely take place on Sunday afternoon’s.
When will all this be decided?
It is my goal to decide if we will be able to field a team by mid October. At that point we will have a parent meeting, hold tryouts and have teams made by the end of October. We will ask that all money is in by the end of November. All these dates are tentative and if we can move them up to get this started sooner we certainly will do so!
