You must have been born on or after January 1st, 1992 to be eligable for the 17 & Under Jr Legion team or born on or after January 1st, 1990 for the 19 & Under Sr Legion team.

4. How do releases work? 

While American Legion Baseball believes very strongly in young men playing for the teams where at least one of their parents or legal guardians live, releases are available on a limited basis to expand their opportunities to play in our program. 

First of all, there are no releases in Junior Legion.  If you try out (make yourself fully available) for the team in the town where your parents live, are not picked for the team and are in your last two years of eligibility (born in 1990 & 1991), than you must be granted your release - which allows you to try to play for another team.  All releases are permanent. 

How this rule works has changed beginning with the 2009 season.  You should contact your Zone Chairman (they are listed on this website) for their assistance in the process.  Basically using MapQuest (shorting driving distance) you determine the next nearest team (using your home address and the address of the team's town hall) - all these town hall addresses should be on this website shortly.  You would contact that team, if not selected, you would then contact the next nearest team.  If you were not selected for that 3rd team (original town you belong to and two additional chances), you would not be able to play American Legion Baseball this summer.
