Lake Zurich Baseball and Softball Association

The LZBSA Junior Softball League is designed for 3rd and 4th grade girls who wish to experience the complete game of fastpitch softball in a recreational setting. 
 

Our development goals for players in this league are:

• Playing several different positions to learn fundamentals
• Exposure to live pitching (including windmill form, called balls and strikes) and base stealing
• Developing awareness of game situations
• Developing personal self confidence
• Having fun in a team environment!

Our teams at this level play in a combined league with teams from Barrington Youth Softball, playing a 12-15 game regular season schedule. The teams are formed through a player draft and requests to pair players are communicated at the draft but not guaranteed.  The regular season is followed by a playoff to determine a league champion.  There is also an all-star game at this level.  Depending on interest, the league may also include a post-season travel all-star team in which players must try out to be selected.  They typically play in 2-3 "away" tournaments.
