Legion Baseball registration begins Jan. 1


Online registration for the 2012 American Legion Baseball season begins Jan. 1 via the website www.legion.org/administration/baseball/register.

For first-time Legion Baseball registration users, an important component of online registration is the generation of a login and password. This gives coaches access to an area where they can pay insurance fees, upload team photos, fill out team rosters and much more. More importantly, coaches can only begin holding tryouts once they receive notification that their insurance has been processed.

Furthermore, because of improvements recently made to the Legion Baseball website, coaches now have the ability to automatically renew team information from the previous season.

For questions or concerns regarding 2012 baseball registration, please email baseball@legion.org. And for details on playing, coaching or volunteering with Legion Baseball, go to www.legion.org/baseball/participate.
