Welcome to Lakewood Tigers 12 Youth Baseball Web Site!
The Lakewood Tigers are a 12 and under baseball team made up of terrific kids, great coaches, and dedicated, supportive families
For the 2006 season. We have 10 players returning from last year and 1 new player. The Lakewood Tigers would like to welcome John Martinez to the team.
Baseball is about; Bad hops.Bad throws Bad calls.Striking out & Making errors. IT is about overcoming all of those things.
Our young men will have the character building experiences that baseball can offer. The lessons of teamwork and of sportsmanship in both victory and defeat are our primary focus because they are lessons good for life.
They will be encouraged to advance in life lessons of team unity, leadership, discipline, sportsmanship, fun, class, aggressiveness, initiative, dedication, persistence, sacrifice, unselfishness, teamwork, loyalty, honesty and integrity. We will also stress the importance of time management in school, sports and life as well as having fun responsibly while respecting oneself, his family and the team.

BASEBALL PARENTS
Levels of Baseball Parents
LEVEL 1
Rec Ball Parent:
Out of control, whole life hinges on every pitch of the game. Umpires are blind and you are not sure if the coach might not also need a mental test. Waiting on any day the call from the Olympic Committee to invite your son for tryouts. Can only get themselves to leave the field for a restroom visit and even that they're reconsidering.
LEVEL 2
First Year Competitve Parent:
Still reasonably out of control. Has no clue to level of play, thinks their kid is God's Gift, even though he sits on the bench most of the time. Coach is a pure idiot because they don't see your kid's obvious Olympic talent! Keeps notes to monitor exact playing time verses other kids! Have considered reading the rulebook for more options to contribute from the bleachers.
LEVEL 3
Minimum Two Years Competitve Ball Experience Required:
Has started to settle down. Understands the game a little better, may even start trusting the coach's ability. Kid is playing more often so life hinges on game outcome rather than performance. Umpires seem to be understanding the rules better too. Chuckles at the first year competitive parents!
LEVEL 4
Minimum Four Years Competitve Ball Experience:
Understands the game and the plays. Walks around eating all day and is an expert in snack bar cuisine. Life hinges on whether or not they play at 8 or 9 (so might get to sleep in). Does not care if the game starts on time, as long as good snacks are there. Requires portable TV to catchup on major news.
LEVEL 5
More Than Five Years Competitive Experience:
Parent becomes comatose during games, has no clue if their kid is even playing. Hears about a great catch he made after the game. Daydreams about what life would be like if you could have all the money you ever spent on baseball. Looks forward to the college program picking up the tab for the next four years. Have considered umpiring since they must get paid big dollars to put up with the 1st year parents.
LEVEL 6
Parent has retired from their involvement with softball or passed on. A small monument is erected at every game in their honor which consist of a bleacher chair with half a bag of sunflower seeds.
