Lake Zurich Baseball and Softball Association

The Rookie League is the entry level for baseball.  It is a non-competitive league comprised of boys and girls who are ages 5 and 6 that is designed to teach children the basic elements of throwing, fielding, running and batting.  It is an underhand coach pitch league that consists of approximately 12 games (twice per week) that are either 6 innings or 1-1/2 hours in length.  Teams will cover such topics as where to stand in the field, which direction to run, how to throw a baseball, how to hold a bat, etc.

After registration is completed, all participants are placed on a team by the league President.  While we cannot guarantee that any two players will be placed on the same team, we do accept requests to pair players and will accommodate it whenever possible.  The season runs from the beginning of July to the middle of August.  All players will receive a hat and tee shirt that is theirs to keep.
