Junior Baseball Organization (JBO)
JBO: 7th and 8th Grade
LYB offers 7th/8th graders (ages 12-14) the opportunity to play baseball at a highly competitive level (including tournaments) through Lincoln Junior Baseball Organization (JBO).
This level requires a higher level of commitment from players who are selected during annual player evaluations with three divisions of competition:
- National - Players with beginning or recreation-level skills
- American - Players with intermediate-level skills
- Federal - Players at the highest skill level
JBO teams play on regulation baseball (MLB) sized fields. Bases are 90 feet apart and the pitching distance is 60 feet 6 inches.
JBO players will also be participating in Winter training that runs from January 6-February 28 on Mondays, Thursdays, Saturdays (catching), and Sundays (pitching) at the Lincoln training facility and field. Participation is HIGHLY recommended for players anticipating trying out for the 7th/8th grade JBO teams in the spring.
Evaluations for JBO will be after the Winter Training so be on the lookout for registration information in early 2025.
