NCBA DI RENEWAL LPA’S – ’21/’22 SEASON
CLICK HERE for the 2022 League Participation Agreement, which covers the upcoming 2021-2022 NCBA season. This membership form is due back prior to July 1st. Please make note we were able to lower dues by $225 this year as we removed the offering of 2 BBCOR bats. While we intend to revisit offering those for the ‘22/’23 season, it was important to us to keep dues as low as we can for clubs this ‘21/’22 season given everything going on the last 14 months.

With that, the NCBA will not be hosting Divisional League play this this spring, but rather a combined NCBA season. Please note that all Division I, II, and III teams that ARE eligible to compete this spring will be invited to play in a conferences that may be a mix of any combination of DI, DII and DIII teams.

“2021 will provide many challenges to our program as I’m sure it will to others due to COVID. We are currently looking for a new home field since ours is a parking lot and our indoor space has been repurposed for workout equipment. However, our program is hopeful for a return to practice in February with an eye on playing some sort of season this Spring. 34 players are expected to return between the two teams providing a solid group of veterans to lead us through a unique situation. If given the chance, this group will be ready to lead us to another successful season on and off the field.”

“We have been doing a lot over here at HPU, within the coronavirus restraints and limitations, in order to prepare ourselves for the upcoming season whenever that may be. Our pitching staff has been working hard with bullpens and live scrimmages in order to keep in game form during this offseason. We are also very excited about this freshman class and the additional threats that it brings to our team on the mound, at the plate, and in the field. Having the experience of 5 Junior, 5 senior and 2 fifth year athletes really helps us with chemistry as well as incorporating the new freshman class into the program. The energy has been buzzing at our inter-squads every Saturday and we are all very excited about the season and the chance to get back to Georgia with the new squad.”
