The IBL (Irondale Baseball League) welcomes you to our 63nd season of baseball for youth living in the 621 School District. The IBL and its volunteers annually offer a quality baseball experience to hundreds of youth in our communities. Our goal is to provide a positive baseball learning experience especially for players, volunteer coaches and umpires, as well as for families and spectators. The IBL offers an instructional and traveling programs in a competitive environment. Teamwork, sportsmanship, playing hard, giving your best, and having fun are emphasized.
Registration for the 2021 instructional season is now open!
TRAVELING TRYOUT RESULTS
We had a great turnout at our tryouts for the 2021 season. All the players gave it their all during the evaluations and it is great to see the program growing each year. We appreciate the help of all the board members, the University of Northwestern evaluators and players to help it run smoothly.
Our teams change year to year with new registrants coming in to the program, advancements in ability due to hard work in the off season, players leaving the program, etc. You may not be at the same level you were last year, you may not be on the team you hoped for, or may not be placed on a traveling team this year. The evaluators give us an honest opinion of where they think each player will have the best opportunity for personal growth and development in their baseball skills.
For those that were not placed on a traveling team, look for the instructional team registration to open in mid-December.
For those that were placed on a traveling team, we will be sending you a registration link this week. We are asking that you register, using that link, by Sunday, November 8th in order to secure your spot on the team.
We appreciate everyone’s cooperation and look forward to a positive baseball season in 2021!
Below are the final team placements. Please click on your age to see team formations. As we stated in the emails leading up to tryouts, we had to combine some age groups based on the numbers. The ages that were combined are 9/10U (to form one 10U team), 11/12U (to form two 12U teams), and 13/14U (to form one 14U team).
After registration is completed on Nov. 8 we will post the final team rosters in SportsEngine
