Lincoln Youth Baseball Organization (dba as Junior Saltdogs League)

Junior Saltdogs is a summer youth baseball program for kids ages 5-17.  We have 7 divisions…U6 tball, U8 machine pitch, and player pitch for U10, U12, U14, and U17, as well as our Homer’s Heroes division for kids ages 5-17 with physical or intellectual disabilities.

We have 80+ teams each season, and there are no tryouts.  JSL commissioners form the teams based on the preferences that each player lists on their registration form for a specific coach, friend, or school.  While we can’t guarantee specific team placement, we do our very best to honor listed preferences while at the same time balancing player numbers between all the teams in each division.  Please check the FAQ page for answers to many questions.

 

2026 Season

 

REGISTRATION:

  • U6-U14 divisions:  Registration for our 2026 season is closed, and we won’t be accepting additional players.  To be fair to everyone who asks, it is board policy that we not make any exceptions.  If you would like to be added to our database to receive 2027 registration information when it goes out in early January, please email Deb at jslregistrations@jrsaltdogs.com with your best email address, home mailing address, and player’s name.
  • U17 (high school) division only:  Go to the U17 page for information on the second registration period just for U17.
  • Homer’s Heroes division:  Go to the Homer’s Heroes page for the online registration link.  The registration deadline is May 1, 2026.

SEASON UPDATES:

U6-U14 Divisions… Now is the hard part – patiently waiting while the JSL Board works as quickly as possible to do the team sort, select all head coaches, do the game schedule, and all the other details so we can get our season up and running.  We appreciate your patience.  Head coaches will be notified by division commissioners in early April – if you have any questions about head coaching status prior to that, use the the direct commissioner email links that are on each division page.  They will receive their team rosters in mid-April and they make the first contact with their players/parents.  Please watch your emails carefully (including your spam/junk folders). ​

U6-U14 GAME SCHEDULES … Will be final and posted on each division page in late April.

U6-U14 END OF SEASON TOURNAMENTS … Dates will not be known until early July as any regular season rain makeups will affect tournament dates.  Dates will be posted on each division pages as soon as they are set.  For a guideline, once the regular season game schedules are posted, use the link to determine the last game that any team plays in your division.  Add a few days in case they’re needed for rain makeups and then the tournament typically starts.   All tournament games will be done by July 31.

QUESTIONS:  Most questions can be answered by referring to our FAQ page.  If not, please email Deb at jslregistrations@jrsaltdogs.com.
