Lion's Park and Staples 3 transform into vibrant gathering places, echoing with cheers and encouragement as we come together to support the Cougars. It's a celebration of small-town spirit, where every fan, player, and coach plays a pivotal role in crafting unforgettable memories. We invite you to be part of these special nights. Join us to cheer on the Cougars as they showcase their talents!
The Goal of the Cougars Program is to support players who want to take their baseball playing experience to the next level, compete in leagues and tournaments, develop skills, and enjoy the game of baseball.
Cougars teams compete at the 9U, 10U, 11U, 12U, 13U, 14U, and 15U levels in spring/summer league and tournament play.
Players can anticipate approximately 45-65 games per season, varying by age group and how competitive each team is during tournament play.
During the regular spring/summer baseball season, we expect that the Cougars team is our players’ first sports priority. While the schedule will vary by age, below is an example shell of a typical season schedule:
Jan - Mar | Indoor team practices (2 times per week) |
Apr - Jun |
Regular season games (1-weekday game and one weekend) and tournaments |
Jun - Jul |
League playoffs (1-weekday game and one weekend) and late-season tournaments |
Fall |
Managers may schedule practices and games. Cougars players may also play fall ball in the LZBSA Fall House League. However, it is not a requirement. |
May 1 is the cutoff date that determines placement.
