By sponsoring a youth baseball team, the American Legion Post can effectively reach out to veterans, their families, and the broader community, creating opportunities for recruitment through visible community service and engagement.
About 3,500 teams compete each year, so there’s ample opportunity for new players to join, and for coaches who want to start a team. The league also employs a large number of umpires and other volunteers.
The American Legion awards between $22,000 and $25,000 in scholarships to deserving baseball players each year. Each Department Baseball Committee may select a player from its department to receive this scholarship.
To Play:
Contact your local Legion post. Look for the address and phone number in the local White Pages or at www.legion.org/baseball. Click on “Find a Post” and fill in your city, state and ZIP code, or go to Utah Posts on this site.
Players who are cut from a team, or try out but don’t make the roster, can play for the post that is the next-shortest driving distance from their residence. JOIN TODAY.
The league still stands behind the traditional values upon which it was founded in 1925. American Legion Baseball has taught hundreds of thousands of young Americans the importance of sportsmanship, good health and active citizenship. The program is also a promoter of equality, making teammates out of young athletes regardless of their income levels or social standings. American Legion Baseball has been, and continues to be, a stepping stone to manhood for millions of young men who have gone on to serve their country or community, raise families or play the sport at the highest level.
