Avon Lake Youth Baseball is grade based. Register by the grade your child is CURRENTLY in.
Our community-based leagues provide young players with the perfect opportunity to learn, grow, and have fun. Whether they’re starting out with Tee Ball or advancing to more challenging divisions, each league focuses on skill development, teamwork, and enjoyment. Players will work on fundamentals like hitting, fielding, and pitching, while building confidence, sportsmanship, and a love for the game.
Parents and family members are a vital part of the experience, supporting players from the sidelines or volunteering as coaches and assistants. Volunteer coaches are encouraged to emphasize fair play, sportsmanship, and personal growth, creating a positive and inclusive environment for all participants. Above all, our leagues prioritize participation and development, ensuring that every player has the chance to improve, make lasting memories, and enjoy the game in a supportive, fun-filled
atmosphere.
Each player receives a game T-shirt and hat. Players must provide their own glove; baseball pants and cleats are optional. Players are encouraged to bring plenty of water to each practice and game and stay well hydrated.
