Register for 2013 Legion Baseball season

Posted in Baseball

Online team registration for American Legion Baseball is now more user-friendly and faster thanks to a new website designed specifically for Legion Baseball registration: www.baseball.legion.org.

The new site requires coaches to create an administrator account  — the same username and password from last year may be used. Once logged in, coaches will have the ability to locate and renew teams and players from previous seasons. Additionally, the registration site has been customized to meet the Legion’s new policy for background screening checks.

Background screening checks will be conducted annually each season prior to any meetings, events, practices or games that involve youth participants. During the annual online Legion Baseball registration process, an acknowledgement will be required that each coach, manager and volunteer staff of an American Legion Baseball team has been verified as having passed the mandated background check screening requirements for that upcoming season. This is required before managers and coaches can purchase insurance and enter their team roster on the new baseball registration website.

Legion Baseball teams not registered for insurance by May 15 are subject to a fine payable to the department. In accordance with the 2013 Legion Baseball Rulebook, any team failing to register by June 1, 2013, shall not be permitted to play American Legion Baseball.

For questions or concerns, please email baseball@legion.org.

Why doesn't National Headquarters set a standard protocol when teams register?

From my perspective, I don't see how anyone will be able to differentiate between JR and SR games. They online schedule is basically useless because no standard is being used for JR and SR teams.

I don't see how any college scout could make heads or tails of the legion online schedule.

I have a suggestion ... for the Senior teams ...

- Post 21 Winchester
- Post 53 Front Royal
- Post 72 Warrenton
- Post 28 Dumfries

For the Junior teams, I would suggest the following:

- (JR) Post 21 Winchester
- (JR) Post 53 Front Royal
- (JR) Post 72 Warrenton
- (JR) Post 28 Dumfries

I've been e-mailing for the last couple-few years about this and I don't see any change.
