The 2010 season is here. And it promises to be better than ever. As you can tell from our new (and still coming together) website, quite a lot has changed. We’ve added many new facets to and worked to improve every part of the baseball program. One of the biggest changes you’ll notice is the new emphasis on LFBA being a “Feeder Program” for Lake Forest High School. We’re working in concert with the high school coaches, including head varsity coach Tom Myers, to ensure our efforts are coordinated and that LFBA is delivering the best possible coaching to the boys at all age groups. Part of that change is the new logo and name: Lake Forest Scouts Baseball. But you can still call us LFBA too.

Scouts Baseball has also been a part of a new movement among the towns along the North Shore to develop a new league, specifically tailored to community-based feeder programs. You can read about the Lake Shore Feeder Baseball league here.

While year-round, travel baseball managed by professional clinics has its place among the offerings, the parents involved with Scouts Baseball think it’s important to provide a quality baseball experience for boys to play with their school friends and neighbors and that does not require year-round commitment. We share this philosophy with the other communities who founded the new league.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be introducing the new and exciting changes to LFBA, which we think will make 2010 the best season ever.
