The Lakeshore Guardians Baseball program, operated through Lakeshore Little League, offers competitive tournament baseball opportunities for players ages 9U–12U. The program gives athletes the chance to compete at a more advanced level while continuing to participate in Little League during the spring season. It was created to expand the opportunities available to families within our league boundaries and to provide an option that bridges the gap between recreational baseball and full-time travel ball.

Our mission is to provide selected players with an environment where they can grow, improve, and display their baseball abilities. We focus on building fundamentally sound players, encouraging leadership within their Little League teams throughout the week, and developing toughness and competitiveness during weekend tournament play. We believe the combination of Little League and tournament baseball helps create more complete players by allowing them to gain experience at multiple positions during league games while sharpening advanced skills alongside their Guardians teammates in tournament competition.
