DFWABA tryout and league details
The Dallas-Fort Worth Adult Baseball Association (DFWABA) holds tryouts each July at Legends Field in the Parks at Texas Star complex. Specific dates and times are to be determined, but keep an eye on the DFWABA website for details. The tryout fee is $15, and you’ll need to wear rubber cleats, tennis shoes, or turf shoes, as metal spikes aren’t allowed.
The DFWABA organizes leagues for a range of age groups, from 18+ to 60+. Play days depend on your age group: 18+/25+/60+ play on Sundays, 35+ on Fridays, 40+ on Wednesdays, 50+ on Saturdays, and 55+ on Thursdays.
Frequently Asked Questions
How old are senior league baseball players?
“Senior league” can mean a few different things, but generally refers to leagues for players beyond the typical adult league age range. This can start anywhere from 35 years old and go up from there, with some leagues having divisions for players 50+, 60+, or even older. It really depends on the specific organization and its rules.
Can you get into baseball as an adult?
Absolutely! While making the major leagues is incredibly tough, there are plenty of opportunities to play baseball as an adult, regardless of your experience level. Adult baseball leagues welcome players of all skill levels, from former college players to folks who are just picking up a bat for the first time since childhood. It’s a great way to stay active and enjoy the game.
What is the men’s baseball league called?
There isn’t one single “men’s baseball league.” Instead, there are numerous independent leagues and organizations across the country catering to adult players. Some popular ones include the Men’s Senior Baseball League (MSBL), the National Adult Baseball Association (NABA), and various local recreational leagues. The specific name will depend on your location and the organization running the league.
