Some of the benefits of KVBSA play:

• Teams control their own schedule and know it weeks and months ahead of time. You can play any day of the week or doubleheaders.
• Teams play as many games as their collective division decides. You have up to 15 weeks to schedule and play your games
• Teams can reschedule make-up games when they get rained out. Tournament rainouts may go unplayed. Scrimmages have no-shows.
• Teams can schedule as many additional games that they want with the many teams not in their specific divisions
• Teams play in divisions with others of similar abilities to promote competitiveness and geography. These divisional breakouts are determined by the coaches and not randomly by the directors.
• You only travel half the time as teams play half their games on their home field and traditionally most teams may only travel out of their geography a limited number of times
• League play allows your team the opportunity to develop all players in a structured, organized competitive environment
• KVBSA teams receive their registration & insurance as part of their participation.
• Teams receive KVBSA specific discounts from most local tournaments and the National Tournament organizations
• Partnership with the Tigers for Fundraising & event days.
• Teams have access as well as discounts to multiple facilities and resources to assist in their team development
• We are just as proud to acknowledge all the league participants that have been on all the High School & College Rosters throughout the years as we are the last 3 Division 1 state champions whose rosters were mostly composed of KVBSA players. We take no credit for any of those successes, just the satisfaction that we gave those players and you, their coaches, a venue to work on those skills that helped them realize those opportunities and dreams.
