Practices are scheduled at the discretion of the head coach and teams are encouraged to start practicing based on their division.
- Minor A and Up can begin practices as early as the week before Spring Break pending indoor availability.
- Minor B will start third week of April.
From the Calendar page you have full visibility as to what practices and games are scheduled for all teams.
Indoor Practices
All practices prior to our field day are held indoors pending facility availability. Indoor practice availability will be shared with coaches once all rosters have been posted.
Outdoor Practices
Teams can begin practicing outdoors after our field day on the first weekend in April. We are using fields 1 and 2 at Lion's. These are the far North field by Bob Jass and the middle field by the playground.
Lion’s Park has plenty of space so more than one team can practice at a given field and teams can take turns using the infield for practice.
Coaches should use the the calendar feature on your team page to schedule practices. All the blackout dates and game are in the system and you will see if a field is not available during that time for practice. Follow the instructions outline below to schedule practices.
Each field has a field box has a set of bases along with a batting tee with a combination lock, you should have the code if not please contact Matt Fleshman for the code.
You are free to use them for your practice just be sure to lock everything up at the end of practice, also please rake the batters box and pitchers mound areas with the field rake if you used them during your practice.
Also you are not restricted to practicing at Lion's Park, you can practice at other fields but please keep in mind that we do not have priority and other leagues like Elburn Baseball have priority over us for those fields
