Who we are
CABL is a nonprofit, run by volunteers, that builds a baseball community network around Charlotte. We organize competitive adult baseball, support the next generation of players, and connect members, sponsors, and local businesses so everyone has each other's back.
Adult Baseball
Competitive adult hardball in age-based divisions: 18+, 35+ and 45+. Two years out of college ball or twenty years past your last at-bat, there's a place for you.
Youth development
CABL is beginning its youth development build-out. We want to help the next generation learn the game the right way, and keep baseball a staple of the Charlotte community for years to come.
Parents: stay in the loop
CABL Youth Leagues Coming Soon
Our youth program began with a broken promise. A coach walked away from a team of 8-year-olds mid-season, and the families got no refunds. Youth baseball had become a business first and a kids' program second, so CABL stepped in.
Today our 9U and 11U teams play by two principles: baseball is for every kid, and the early years are for building a love of the game and a real understanding of it. Our players practice twice a week, compete in Top Gun tournaments and find teammates who become family.
Coming soon: CABL Youth Leagues for 8U–12U teams, playing in June & July with one or two games a week. No Gate Fees. A summer season that leaves room for family time, too.
Fill out the quick form and someone from CABL will reach out.
