Why Choose NoVA District 17 ALB?

Here’s what sets NoVA District 17 ALB apart:

  • A Legacy of Excellence: American Legion Baseball, the nation’s oldest and largest program for teenagers, has been a springboard for countless Major League Baseball stars. Since 1925, over 8 million teenagers have donned the ALB colors, and a staggering 65% of MLB players and 75% of college ball players honed their skills on ALB diamonds.

NoVA District 17 recruits from the best high schools in Northern Virginia, creating an elite atmosphere that will elevate your game. Many of our alumni have gone on to prestigious Division I-III colleges, successfully walked on to college teams, or thrived in competitive club ball. But development goes beyond just facing tough opponents. Unlike other leagues, we offer exceptional playing time opportunities with a roster capped at 18 players and a schedule boasting an average of four 9-inning games per week (unique to the NoVA area!). This allows you to refine your skills under the watchful eyes of experienced coaches.

  • Maximize Your Exposure and Potential: Playing for NoVA District 17 ALB isn’t just about competition and development – it’s about getting recognized. Our program boasts a significantly lower cost than travel leagues thanks to generous sponsorships from our local posts. This allows us to focus on what truly matters – developing well-rounded players. But affordability doesn’t mean a lack of exposure. District 17 and many of our individual teams maintain a strong social media presence, actively promoting player achievements and highlighting standout performances. The exposure doesn’t stop there. The American Legion World Series, a culmination of the season’s best teams, is broadcasted nationwide on ESPN, offering a coveted national spotlight for talented players.

  • Invest in Your Future: Scholarships and Recognition: American Legion Baseball rewards dedication and hard work. The American Legion awards a significant sum – totaling between $22,000 and $25,000 annually – in scholarships to deserving baseball players.
