VFW/Legion baseball is a great summer league option for PCM players after the high school season is finished. Both are competitive leagues with a focus on continuing to develop chemistry with your HS peers and player development.

VFW/Legion offers a structured league environment with a focus on community/PCM and development. Our teams historically have not held formal tryouts and we give roster priority to our high school athletes from the spring season. Additional athletes may be added to round out the roster as needed with preference given to our prior year's graduating seniors returning from their first year of college.
The VFW/Legion season usually runs from early June to mid-July, with playoffs potentially extending into late July. Typically, both teams will have 16-18 regular season games, plus playoffs.
The time commitment varies depending on the week, but you can expect the following:
Games: We usually have 3-4 games per week, with the majority being on weekdays.
Tournaments: There are also regional and potentially state tournaments at the end season, which can require additional travel and commitment.
