What is the CMBL?   Charleston Men's Baseball league 25+, 35+, and 45+ leagues. The league should not be confused with any other leagues in the area. We pride ourselves in running a very organized league that allows ALL players to have input and be kept updated on our financials and league plans.

 

Does it cost money to play?

Yes. We are a self-supported league.  Fees go towards Umpires, Fields, Baseballs, Insurance, Awards, and our Websites. Teams take care of their own uniforms and equipment.  Team costs vary by League and even by team in the same league due to equipment, uniform needs and team size.  In general, fees are $250 per player, per season.

 

I haven't played in a while. How competitive is the league? 

We are competitive but each league consists of a wide range of age and skill levels. Experience levels range from ex-professionals to no previous organized baseball experience in each of our leagues.  Although every team will be trying to win, "Having Fun is Goal Number One".

 

What do I need to play?

All you need is a glove, a pair of spikes/cleats, a good attitude, and the desire to play baseball.  Catcher's gear and helmets are provided by the teams.

 

How fast is the pitching?

In each league you will see pitching ranging from 50 MPH to the high 80's MPH range.  What positions are most in demand?

All positions are in demand but there seems to be a particular need for those who can pitch.

 

How do I get on a team?

Each year an open workout is held giving managers a chance to place players where they are most needed. Each League

has their own open tryout but they tend to be about a month before the season starts.  If you happen to miss an open

tryout don't worry there are always teams in every league in need of players and we will get you on one that needs

you.  Just visit one of our websites and fill out an “Interested Player Registration” form and you will be placed on a team

quickly.
