The Malvern-Paoli American Legion Baseball Association (MPALBA) sponsors American Legion baseball teams for local players ranging from 13 to 19 years old. Historically, our teams have included players whom also have played scholastic baseball at Great Valley, Conestoga, Malvern Prep, Bishop Shanahan, Archbishop Carroll and West Chester East High Schools. Our goal is to provide a first class opportunity for boys to advance their skills in a team-oriented atmosphere without extensive travel. We hope that many of our players will continue our long tradition of ’graduating’ young men who continue their baseball careers in college.

We are a self-sufficient organization, relying on player’s fees and the support of civic-minded individuals, businesses and community groups to annually fund our operating budget.

Would you support our 2010 Season efforts by placing your company name and/or logo on our new website ( www.PaoliLegionBaseball.org)?

Every dollar that we raise is used to directly benefit the players. Your contribution will help defray the cost of needed equipment, uniforms, insurance, field time and other expenses related to the program. Our coaches and board members volunteer 100% of their time to the program.
