American Legion Baseball
American Legion Code of Sportsmanship
"I will: Keep The Rules; Keep Faith With My Teammates; Keep My Temper;
Keep Myself Fit; Keep A Stout Heart In Defeat;
Keep My Pride Under In Victory; Keep A Sound Soul; Keep A Clean Mind And A Healthy Body."
Unlike travel and showcase baseball, all American Legion baseball coaches are vetted by a criminal background check. American Legion registered teams are required to have Liability and Supplemental Medical Insurance.
American Legion Baseball costs a fraction of the expense to play when compared to playing summer travel baseball. There is ample opportunity for new players to join and for coaches who want to start a team.
American Legion Baseball has a long history in New Jersey. The season typically begins around the Memorial Day holiday weekend. The state tournament is normally held in mid-July. Post Season Play also includes a Regional Tournament and a World Series held annually in Shelby, NC.
