Delaware American Legion Baseball

Its Time To Sign Up for the 2022 Season!

The Process is Simple:

Go to your Sponsoring American Legion Post, and get confirmation of their Support for 2022.
Talk with your local High School Baseball Coach - Delaware now recruits using the Base School system and coordination with your local school coach is important.
Then go to https://baseball.legion.org/ and follow the registration instructions on that page. (If Your Post had a Team in 2021, you can "adopt" that team following the instructions)
Make sure that ALL of your e-mail addresses are correct - we manage the league using e-mail. Add dealbaseball@delegion.org and albaseball@capps-assoc.com to your address book.

The Process is pretty straight forward - we will have a meeting in May to discuss the schedule, and rules for the season. That Date, Time and Location has yet to be determined.

Thank You for Your Interest in Legion Baseball for 2022.
