Lakeshore Baseball aims to teach girls more than just the sport of baseball. In addition to helping each child reach their baseball potential, we strongly believe that the lessons of good sportsmanship, teamwork and hard work are key to overall development of all of our players. Through the encouragement of coaches and family members alike, your daughter’s participation and continuous development will undoubtedly have a positive influence on their self-esteem and hopefully, bolster their love for the sport!
With these goals in mind, Lakeshore Baseball is proud to introduce our President and Director of Girls Baseball, Melissa McDonnell. Melissa has been a volunteer for multiple sports within Lakeshore for both her children since 2008. Her mission is to ensure that every girl has the opportunity to play baseball and to guide each player so that they can take advantage of every program available not only in the association, but in the region as well. Melissa will continue to focus on the growth of the game and in encouraging more girls to join the sport.
We encourage you to take a moment to browse this page for information on what programs are available and learn more about what we have to offer. Please contact us at info@lakeshorebaseball.ca if you have any questions.
We hope to see you on the field soon!
Here is what’s going on for our girls!
Lakeshore
Lakeshore, in partnership with the region of Lac St Louis (LSL), has traditionally taken registration for girls at every level, from our foundation level Rally Cap t-ball program through to the 21U level. Female players are either placed on a mixed team (boys + girls) or, if numbers permit in one level, an all-girls team, either made up of players within one association or a combination of players coming from different associations within the Lac St Louis region..
The League Féminin De Baseball Quebec (LFBQ), which is available to our registered female players in the 9U level and above, where female players can choose to take part in the LFBQ or remain on a mixed team. Regardless of where the players choose to play, all options result in a season of fun and amazing development.
LFBQ - Ligue féminine de baseball du Québec.
Baseball Quebec is now offering a full-fledged interregional league for girls, the League Féminin De Baseball Quebec (LFBQ). This is great news for the progression of girl’s baseball. The league will be targeting girls’ teams in A and B class from 9U onward depending on the number of registered girls in each age group.
Girls will now be able to play against girls throughout a full regular season. Teams representing LSL at the girl’s provincial championships will play full-time in the league, in A class. Other teams will be strongly encouraged to play in the league as well (in B class).
If a player wishes to play on a girls’ team and that team is based elsewhere, they will be accommodated via a release. Releases are automatically granted for purpose of building girl's teams. Some travel is expected when playing on these teams due to participation in an interregional league.
Note playing on an all-girls team remains optional and to the discretion of the player.
