Interested in bringing a team into the Association? This is what you will need to do!
PLEASE ENSURE YOU READ EACH TAB ON DETAILED REQUIREMENTS
1- Schedule an interview with league staff
The first step in joining the Association of Senior Baseball is scheduling an interview with our league staff. This conversation helps us make sure that every new team shares the same vision for what we’re building — a competitive, organized, and community-focused league that puts players and fans first. During the interview, we talk about what the team hopes to get out of joining, the kind of baseball experience they want to create, and the responsibilities that come with managing a team at this level. It’s also our chance to confirm that each manager has the dedication, communication skills, and leadership needed to build a successful program both on and off the field.
A- Interviews will last for around 30 minutes
B- Choice of a phone call or zoom interview
2- Find a Location that fits Association standards
The second step in joining the Association of Senior Baseball is finding a location that fits what the league is looking for — both in the community and the facility itself. We want our teams to be based in towns that value local sports, where families, fans, and businesses can rally behind their team. The field should reflect that same standard: a safe, well-kept, and accessible facility that provides a good experience for players and spectators alike. Our league staff works closely with each new team to evaluate potential home fields, make recommendations for upgrades if needed, and ensure the environment matches the level of pride and professionalism that defines the Association.
A- Community of 7,000-12,000 people
B- City or High School baseball field that can fir our schedule
3- Be able to begin building a team
The third step in joining the Association of Senior Baseball is selecting your team’s name and beginning the player recruitment process. Choosing a name is an important part of building your team’s identity — it should reflect the pride, spirit, and character of your community. Once that identity is in place, the next focus is finding players who share the same passion for the game and commitment to representing their hometown with class and effort. Each team’s manager and coaching staff are responsible for holding open tryouts, reaching out to local colleges and adult leagues, and building a competitive roster that fits the level of play our league stands for.
A- Submit a name for your team for association approval
B- Put together a roster of at least 9 other players for your team
4- Pay the security deposit
The final step to joining the Association of Senior Baseball is simple: each team, including the player-manager, contributes a total non-refundable team fee of $500. This is broken down as $50 from the player-manager and $50 from each of nine other players. The $50 contribution from the other players is automatically taken out of their league dues, so the player-manager only pays their own $50. This fee secures the team’s spot in the league and shows a commitment from everyone involved to participate fully in the season.
This structure ensures that joining the league is fair, transparent, and affordable. The team fee is not meant to be a burden, but rather a way to confirm each team is ready to commit to the season and its responsibilities. Once the fee is submitted, the team can focus entirely on recruiting, practicing, and preparing to compete, while the Association takes care of scheduling, marketing, and other operational details. It’s the final step to officially becoming part of a league that puts baseball first and makes playing as an adult truly fun again.
A- 10 players each contribute $50 for the security deposit
B- Refunded upon the completion of the Regular Season
