Independent Baseball: Fall Leagues And Winter Leagues Part 1

If you are a prospective professional baseball player, and you want to improve your chances of getting better (and possibly signed) over the next few months then you may wish to consider participating in one of the for-pay independent baseball fall leagues or winter leagues.  Over the next few days, blog posts will appear on how to get involved with these leagues and the benefits of considering each specific one.

To start, I spoke with a representative of the Golden League the other day.  He is going to help oversee the Arizona Winter League which is one of the longest-running “Winter Leagues” in independent professional baseball.  If you want to play in the Arizona Winter League, or if you want to become an intern and/or join the front office of these teams, then be sure to visit either website to get more information:

More information about pricing, the instructors, and registration information can be found here:

If you want information about many aspects of independent baseball, including useful information ONCE you become a player, be sure to join the appropriate database at http://www.IndependentMinorLeagueBaseball.com and choose the “I want to play professional baseball” link.  If you are a parent of a prospective player then choose the option a few lines down, as there is information for you.

Thank you, and more information on other Fall Leagues will be posted soon.

Independent Baseball Facebook Pages And Profiles

Many of the 2009 independent baseball teams have a presence on Facebook.com.  Here is a best-efforts list to create an easy-to-use resource where you can find a Facebook presence for every independent professional baseball team.

Note that some of these pages may be “fan” pages, and not officially endorsed or controlled by the actual team.  If so, please have a team (or league) representative contact me with the correct Facebook link; and then I will correct the link quickly.

Some pages require to join the “Fan” page, the group, or add a particular team as a “friend” in order to access all of the publicly-available information.
