2025 Lakes Summer Baseball

5U-10U Summer League

NEW for 2025- additional levels, 8U and 10U will be offered. Similar to our spring and fall seasons, we will offer the player pitch/coach pitch level (8U) as well as the 10U player pitch level. In addition, we will offer a 5U tee-ball (3.5 to 5 year olds), a 6U tee-ball/coach pitch level, and a 7U advanced coach pitch level perfect for players bridging the gap between 6U spring and 8U fall. 

Games will begin Wednesday, July 9th. Teams may have a few practices before that at the coach's discretion. Games will be played on Monday and Wednesday evenings with Thursday being used as a rain date. No weekend games will be played and no weekend practices scheduled so families can enjoy summer weekends. The summer season will include nine games. Games will primarily be at Hickory Glen Park but some games could be at Long Field or Shepherd of the Lakes field nearby. 8U games may occur at -both- Hickory Glen and at Janowski Park in Milford.

Your registration provides hats and jersey only. We will NOT be supplying pants with registration. We will have pants and sweatshirts available in our spiritwear store. You can also purchase pants during our Dunham's 20% off discount weekend prior to the start of the season.

12/14U Summer Instructional Academy

Also NEW for 2025 - 14/16U coach Trevor Black and other coaches will conduct a station-based instructional academy for players 11-15 who are looking to improve over the summer in advance of joining a Lakes 12U or 14U fall house team. The academy will occur on Mondays 7/14, 7/21, 7/28 and 8/4 along with Wednesdays 7/30 and 8/6 from 6-8:30 PM and split time between drills/practice before spending the second half on game situations/scrimmages to get live AB reps.

Lakes Summer Baseball Academy - Summer I 2025

NEW for 2025: Lakes Summer Baseball Academy

Based on our successful and popular Lakes Spring Training program, this is a new opportunity for our house players age 6 to 9 to build on their skill set in an easy to fit into your schedule summer format - Sunday afternoons 4:30-6:30 PM. Held at our newly opened and freshly renovated satellite fields at Carrie Janowski Park in the village of Milford, Lakes Summer Baseball Academy will be a two-hour long clinic held on Sunday late afternoons that will include a 60-minute station based practice in fielding, hitting and throwing followed by 60 minutes of game-based reps in a coach pitch format. Players will be organized by skill level and age.

This clinic is a great bridge between our spring and our summer or fall house seasons, and could serve as a good refresher for players looking to tryout for the LCB Legends 8U and 9U travel teams over the summer.

3 initial sessions are scheduled and space is limited. Each registration is separate, sign up for one or all three! Registration also comes with a Lakes t-shirt that is perfect for wearing to practices during an upcoming Lakes season! 

Lakes Summer Baseball Academy will be coached by some of our popular volunteer house program coaches including Frank Novak, Jake Withrow, Antonio Gra and others.
