The Lake George Youth Commission baseball program is a developmental program designed to teach basic skills and rules of the game in a fun, healthy environment.
Although we play teams from other towns, our baseball program is a recreational program. Players will be assigned to teams at their individual grade levels. Our current levels of play include: Majors (grades 5 and 6), Minors (grades 3 and 4) and Pee Wee (grades 1 and 2).
The LGYC baseball program is a Lake George town program.
It is not associated with Lake George Elementary School.
