Late Fall T-Ball/Coach Pitch - Fall II 2025

INDOOR 5U/6U TEE-BALL/COACH PITCH

This brand-new Lakes offering is the perfect first step into the world of Lakes Baseball for the beginner, as well as an opportunity for a player that has played over the past spring, summer or fall to polish their skills and continue to grow over the winter and have fun and remain active while doing so. This will be a fast-paced tee-ball and coach pitch offering that will focus on fundamentals, baserunning and hitting, all while developing character, sportsmanship and love of the game. 

During games, players will be offered a few coach pitches before a batting tee is brought out.

Lakes Instructional Clinics - Annual 2025

Lakes Instructional Clinic Series

Lakes will occasionally offer fundamental clinics for players on weekends between our scheduled house seasons, school holidays and over school breaks. Each of these clinics may have a different format. Many of them will be run by our passionate Lakes volunteer coaches. Clinics are great for both players starting out their baseball journey or for more experienced players looking for reps in a structured environment. 

Pop-Up Clinics are outdoor clinics held at Hickory Glen Park or Janowski Field. These clinics will cover infield instruction, baserunning, extensive tee work and other fundamental drills and will also include simulated game reps or scrimmages (depending on the number of kids who are signed up). These will often be scheduled last minute when we know the weather will be nice for being outdoors. 

Upcoming Clinics

November Instructional Clinic Series @ On The Dunes

Open to 8U to 12U level players, kids will be grouped with other players at their experience level or playing level. Each clinic will have a main focus on the fundamentals listed but will include other instruction too including dynamic warmups, classroom style situational instruction, batting, and more. These will be led by Lakes volunteer coaches. All registrations will include a t-shirt.

House - Fall 2025 - Fall 2025

Lakes Athletics Fall Ball registration is now open for players and volunteer coaches. Lakes fall season offers a full complement of baseball for the 5U – High School divisions including a 7U player/coach pitch level NEW to the fall season!

All players will receive a hat and jersey with registration. Hoodies and other apparel will be available for additional purchase through our Team SpiritWear Store.  Kids are sorted to play in the same divisions they will be playing in next Spring season (division cutoff date is 4/30/26).  

Typically, there will be one weekday practice with games on Friday nights in September and Sundays through mid-October. The oldest levels may see games on a different weekday instead of Friday, especially depending on crossover partners schedules. We are targeting the third week of August to assign teams, and coaches will reach out to their team shortly after that with the game/practice schedule. It will be a 9-game regular season, with the first games on Friday, September 5th. 

Practices will begin in late August (at the discretion of team coaches). There will be All-Star Games at the 8U and 10U level scheduled for Saturday, October 18th and playoff games (at select levels) scheduled for Saturday, October 25th and/or Sunday, October 26th.

Most home games will be at Hickory Glen Park, although some games may be located at Long Field, Janowski Park or Shepherd of the Lakes Field.  Certain levels may partner with a neighboring organization for a crossover game or two as needed.

We can't wait to make this fall the best Lakes has ever had - please reach out to registration@lakesathletics.org with any additional questions.
