THE ARIZONA COLLEGIATE WOOD BAT LEAGUE IS TURNING 20 YEARS OLD IN 2023!

We are celebrating our 20th summer of college baseball this upcoming 2023 season! Back in 2003 the ACWBL only consisted of 6 teams. This past summer (2022) we had 21 teams! How it has grown over the past 2 decades! The best part is we are now getting 2nd generation players from players that played years ago. They are now dads and their kids are now experiencing the ACWBL tradition.

Our goals have always been the same model year after year- get players as many reps (Ab's or Innings) as they possibly can and help players continue their baseball careers through college or pro baseball. Over the years of thousands of players, we have helped place ones with no options for schools find a place. This will always be a goal of ours. We have also had the joy of having numerous players find careers in MiLB and ones that have made it to the big leagues. It is amazing to see and looking forward to seeing the next ones that make it!

The ACWBL will be upping our game this upcoming 2023 summer! We are teaming up with a Digital Communication group that will be providing all the social media, video, stats, and other technology that is very important for players, coaches, schools, families, etc. We are extremely excited to be put on the map in comparison to other summer leagues. More info will be out of the specifics as we get closer to the summer season.

The 2023 summer will be here before we know it and we cannot wait to have the new group of competitive players back on the diamond. We have locked on our locations again for next summer- Salt River Fields in Scottsdale and Legacy at Bell Bank Park in Mesa. Two great facilities that are hard to beat. The season will start in early June and finish at the end of July. Plenty of games to be played throughout the 2 months!

Early Registration is now open, so don't miss out on the reduced price!

Best of luck this upcoming spring season for all players and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at [email protected]

It’s almost game time for the ACWBL! Opening night is Tuesday the 23rd for 6 teams that were randomly selected to open the season. These 3 games will be at 7 pm at Salt River Fields. The remaining 18 teams will be starting Wednesday the 24th. The ACWBL is extremely focused on keeping all players, coaches, staff, trainers, fans etc safe from the spread of Covid-19. We are enforcing the CDC guidelines and will continuously be reminding players to abide by the social distancing recommendations as much as possible. We want this summer to run as smoothly as possible because so many players are just wanting to get back on the field again!

In regards to fans/parents/friends, please follow the recommended Covid-19 guidelines and try keep your distance from people not in the same household. We will be using bleachers for players so they can have the chance to socially distance, so the bleachers will NOT be available to fans. Please bring your own chairs, umbrellas, sunblock and masks. We want fans and parents to be able to come and watch, but we also want to keep all of players and coaches as safe as possible.
Thank you all for understanding. We have worked extremely hard to be able to make this league run this year, so we appreciate everyones patience during this process. Looking forward to some awesome baseball!!! ⚾️⚾️

Best of luck to all the players in the MLB draft tonight. Looking forward to seeing the local Az players being taken tonight and the rest of the week. Love this time of the year

It’s great to see baseball into the full swing of things! Can’t ask for better sights, sounds and smells of being on the diamond. The ACWBL Staff is wishing all a successful 2019 spring season. Just a reminder, but summer baseball is right around the corner and don’t want anyone to miss out of playing some competitive baseball in the wonderful Az summer 😜. 2019 league fees have a slight increase this year due to increasing costs to the overall operations. It will be $850 for a position player and only $275 for a pitcher only. BUT, we are going to be running our final special before we go to the full fee. Position player fee will be $700 and pitcher only fee will be $200, until April 15th (Tax day 😬). Just visit site below to get registered.

Again, best of luck this season and looking forward to having a great summer season.
