LSBA Board of Directors
Age Change for Both Divisions
Change in allowable age: This year the Junior Division will allow 12 year old players on the teams. The web site has been set up to accomodate this change. In addition, the Senior Colt Division will allow 14 year old players to register in the Senior Division. Please make this selection with a lot of thought. Will your player have more fun and learn more at the Junior Division? The LSBA Board only recommends playing up in very few instances. Ask at the skill evaluation if you are thinking about playing up in the Colt Division.
Preformed Junior Teams
Preformed teams will need to have players registered on-line again this year. Indicate the team name or coach during the registration and we will move the players to the correct team. In the event your coach charges more than the league, you will need to pay the difference directly to the coach.
We will be looking for volunteers to manage and coach teams once again this year. Please consider taking on this rewarding challenge. Do not use the excuse that you do not know enough about the game. We can give you help if you need it. The last few years came down to the Board of Directors trying to find coaches and managers for the teams wanting to play.
2010 Baseball Season - Registration Site is Open
Senior Division Season - Registration Site is Open
The Senior Division registration will also starts on October 1, 2009 however the actual play does not begin until after High School Ball in the spring. This is intended to allow coordination with the high schools and players on the high school teams to join the LSBA teams later. In the past, some teams with players not on school teams have started practicing earlier and infilling with the school players as possible or after the high school season ends. Keep checking the web site for further information.
Coach Notes
Junior Division Coaches
A Junior Division coaches meeting is pending and will be scheduled for sometime in February. Location to be announced. The meeting is for both Preformed and Open Enrollment Coaches.
Preformed Teams
Due to some enrollement and scheduling conflicts in the prior years, we are asking the players to enroll on the LSBA web site. The actual team costs will be developed further as the season develops.
Open Enrollment
No information at this time. As always, we will be looking for managers and coaches. Please give this a try. It is not hard and you may find it fairly enjoyable.
Senior Division Coaches
Preformed Palomino Teams
Due to some enrollement and scheduling conflicts in the prior years, we are asking the players to enroll on the LSBA web site. The actual team costs will be developed further as the season develops.
Preformed - Colt Teams
You may want to consider putting a team together of your players from last year and supplement it with a few other players. The Board is also looking at a means to supplement the preformed teams to provide all players a good season.
Open Enrollment - Colt Teams
We will only have an open enrollment team in the event we have enough players not assigned to preformed teams. Last season every player was on a preformed team but this took some work by the Board to make it happen. No information at this time. As always, we will be looking for managers and coaches. Please give this a try. It is not hard and you may find it fairly enjoyable.
Our Philosphy
The primary objective of the Lake Sammamish Baseball Association is to provide young men and women in the greater Issaquah area (i.e. Issaquah, Sammamish, Redmond, Preston and surrounding areas) with opportunities to play on competitive and developmental baseball teams from league age 12 until age 19.
Lake Sammamish Baseball Association is a non-profit organization sponsoring teams that participate in leagues such as Pony Baseball and Babe Ruth League baseball. It is run by a Board of Directors which is staffed entirely by volunteers. The fees collected and distributed are solely for the operation of the league and the of Board of Directors are documented so that any person that would like to volunteer can see what area each member is responsible for. We are always looking for more volunteers to help in the program.
Additional geographical areas are being added this year to LSBA and consequently more teams will be formed in Junior and Senior divisions. Junior division teams are comprised of players league age 12 to 14 and Senior division teams are comprised of players league age 14 to 19 who live within the league boundaries and play their games at local playing fields.
Games are staffed by paid umpires. Occasionally, a game will be rained out and we have which should be followed to allow the notification to all involved.
