Neenah Baseball (NBI) is planning on re-joining Legion Baseball for high school players, during the summer of 2023. The past few years we’ve been a part of the FVYBL league. While this has provided some opportunities for players to continue playing during the summer, it falls short in some areas as far as scheduling, organization, and competition. We’d like to provide better opportunities for those players that aren’t playing travel ball, or potentially who are but would like to get additional at bats in during the week. American Legion has been around a long time, and before travel baseball, it was one of the only ways to continue playing competitively in the summer months. Additionally, Legion Baseball provides teams the opportunity to play in Regional and State Tournaments at the end of the year if the team qualifies. Also at the Senior Legion level, if you win the state tournament, you do have the ability to continue playing at the national level in a regional and national tournament. There are essentially two different age divisions for legion, shown below.
• Senior Legion – 19U
• Junior Legion – 17U or 16U
Although there are other options, Neenah Baseball (NBI) would like you to consider playing American Legion this summer. Hopefully there is enough interest to field a Senior Team, but at the junior level, there should be more than enough, whether it be a 17U or 16U team. We’ll have to decide once we get an idea of numbers.;
Please consider these end-of-year tournament dates below for the different age divisions:
2023 Regional Dates
• Senior Legion (19U) – July 18th – July 22nd (Location – TBD)
• Junior Legion (16U & 17U) – July 14th – July 18th (Location – TBD)
2023 State Tournament Dates
• Senior Legion (19U) – July 25th – July 29th (Marinette)
• Junior Legion (17U) – July 21st – July 25th (Wisconsin Rapids)
• Junior Legion (16U) – July 21st – July 25th (Waupun)
There are several meetings in our Legion District coming up very soon and we’d like to see if there is any interest in playing Legion Baseball this summer. It is important to act quickly as we need to know what teams and ages to register for.
Please register for Legion using the NBI 2023 Registration link or found on the NBI homepage at https://www.neenahbaseball.com/. Registration for Legion is $150 now, and another $150 in June, to cover uniforms, insurance, umpire fees, etc. NBI will refund if there are any changes to our Legion plans.
Please reach out to Matt Waite if you have any questions.
