What is AWBA?
AWBA, the American Women's Baseball
Association, is playing its 14th season in Chicago in the year 2001. Founded
in 1988 by Darlene A. Mehrer, AWBA is one of the oldest organized women's
baseball leagues in the world. If you are interested in playing some hardball,
give us a try!
Who can play?
Any women interested in playing
baseball! No experience necessary. We need players (preferably 16 years
or older), coaches, and managers. Please pass the word to help make the season
better.
When do you play?
Practices and/or games will be
held on weekends from April through August, based on interest. Please
let us know
if you're interested in playing hardball, and we'll let you know when
the next practice will be held.
Where do you play?
We have played all over Chicagoland, most often at Lombard Commons in Lombard,
IL, and Vittum Park (map)
in Chicago.
What's going on this year?
We are looking for players, and
will schedule league practices and games depending on interest. Members of
the Chicago Storm
, a competitive women's baseball team in the Great Lakes League, play
in AWBA, and are always looking for competitive players to fill their roster
spots. Contact the Storm
for more info.
What does it cost?
Due to a contribution from an
anonymous sponsor, there were no fees for AWBA practices or games last season.
We anticipate fees will be very low again this year.
