Open Baseball Tryouts: Black-Owned Independent Baseball League Looking For Players

A League of Our Own Independent Baseball League will hold open tryouts for the 2024 fall season. The season will start Labor Day weekend, August 31, 2024, through October 19, 2024.

Featuring non-stop baseball, 50 games in 50 days in addition to elite barnstorming all-star teams. The league is open to local, national, and international baseball players from all ethnic backgrounds, 17 years old and older (unlimited age).

Participants are welcome that have and/or have not completed their high school or college eligibility. Qualified participants include those who may have encountered academic hardship, been under-recruited, or may not have been allowed to be a part of a high school or college team.

Qualified participants include those who perhaps lacked the needed exposure but still have a burning desire to continue playing baseball. The league is looking for sincere and committed players who would be appealing to professional and/or international teams. Priority will be given to participants that possess above-average baseball talent.

Two tryout dates have been scheduled in North Carolina; one in Greensboro on January 6 and one in Rocky Mount on January 7. A limited number of 60 roster spots will be reserved for local players; participants will not lose any high school or college eligibility. If selected for a team, participants will not be paid.
