The NCBA is exicted to announce the 2024 NCBA DI World Series is heading back to Alton, IL for a 3rd year!

“The City of Alton and the Alton River Dragons have made the NCBA feel right at home since 2022. It was a no brainer to continue this relationship heading into 2024. Between the support, the field amenities, and the City of Alton’s and River Dragons staff, it’s been absolute pleasure to have them host.” – Jimmy Henderson, Director of DI Baseball Operations

“The Alton River Dragons and the City of Alton are thrilled to be bringing the NCBA Division I event as well as the already announced Division II event back for another year at Lloyd Hopkins Field. The NCBA and their staff are a first class organization that brings a great baseball event to the City of Alton, and we are so excited that they chose to once again choose Alton as their partner city. We invite everyone to come out and enjoy some fantastic baseball in May of 2025.” – Steve Marso, Owner of the Alton River Dragons.
