Join the LZBSA Board!

We're searching for passionate volunteers to serve on our Board of Directors. Each member serves a one-year term and plays a vital role in guiding our organization. As a board member, you'll oversee a league or specific aspect, influencing the overall direction of our association.

Our Board comprises dedicated individuals, and new members receive support from experienced veterans. With established processes in place, you'll be part of a team that has successfully run these programs for years, tackling new challenges while building upon existing foundations.

This is an excellent opportunity to make a meaningful impact in our community by supporting our youth baseball and softball programs.

Commissioner, LZBSA

Lake Zurich Baseball & Softball Association Inc. 501c (3).

Since 1998, Lake Zurich Baseball & Softball Association (LZBSA) has been a local nonprofit organization that provides the youth of our community (Lake Zurich, Hawthorn Woods, Kildeer, Deer Park, Echo Lake, Forest Lakes, North Barrington) participatory baseball and softball activities.  Our objectives are to teach the fundamental skills of the game through competition, sportsmanship in winning and losing, team participation, courage, and loyalty. LZBSA offers various baseball and softball programs so many children can participate​​​​​.

LZBSA is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that supports athletic programs for 1,000 boys and girls ages 5-18 each year.  Our organization does not benefit from a park district for field and equipment upkeep, so we rely heavily on local participation to fund the organization through registration fees, fundraising activities, and the generosity of local business owners via sponsorships.

The LZBSA Board is comprised of enthusiastic, energetic volunteers who look to serve our local community youth. Board members oversee a specific league or particular aspect of our organization and help make decisions that guide the organization's overall direction.
