It may still be chilly outside, but it’s not too early to be thinking about Lakeland Little League baseball and softball.
Open registration for both baseball and softball is open now online now at the league’s website.
There also will be in-person registration at Central High School in Paddock Lake on March 10 from 6 to 9 p.m. in the All-Purpose Room.
Exciting changes are in store for this season for Lakeland Little League. A new system of youth baseball, called The Show, will be implemented. This will be a combined league where the kids will be playing 12 games of in-house ball on the traditional 46 feet pitching mounds and 60 feet bases, and then 12 games on the new 50 feet pitching mounds and 70 feet bases with the addition of high school rules, where kids can lead off, steal before the ball crosses the plate and get picked off by the pitcher.
Lakeland also is hosting open gyms at Central High School. Check out the schedule of times and dates at the league’s website.
