Suburban Travel Baseball League Overview

STBL is a private non-profit baseball league that serves the greater Bucks County, PA area. STBL was founded in 1999 to provide players at many age levels with a more challenging and competitive game environment.
STBL is not affiliated with any national organizations such as Little League or Babe Ruth. STBL does require member organizations to be affiliated with an established national organization. This requirement ensures each organization has clearly defined boundaries, insurance, and administration.

Organizations pay a fee to participate in the Suburban Travel Baseball League. This fee covers costs associated with trophies, insurance, All-Star activities & T-shirts, and other associated materials needed to support the day to day operations of the organization.

STBL has:
- A board of directors that meet monthly.
- Age group commissioners elected by the Board.
- Member teams at the following age levels: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14/15.
