Rookie Ball Opening Ceremony on Wednesday, July 13
Rookie League baseball provides approximately 70 children between the
ages of eight and eleven years old with the opportunity to experience
the game of baseball. While participating, they build on the spirit of
teamwork and can also develop leadership skills. The league is made up
of four teams that play a scheduled game and one practice each week for a
period of six weeks throughout the summer. The teams are coached by LPS
members, both sworn and civilian, that volunteer their time for this
important community project.
