Legion Baseball registration deadline approaching

To date, more than 2,000 American Legion Baseball teams have registered for the 2016 season. Register now at www.baseball.legion.org as deadlines are approaching.

Any team that fails to register by May 15 shall pay an additional $200 to their respective American Legion department. And any team that fails to register by June 1 will not be permitted to play during the season.

Coaches can use the same username and password from last year, and they can locate and renew teams and players from previous seasons. The registration site also meets the Legion’s 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 baseball registration website.

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