American Baseball Coaches Association Member
In 1945, a group of college baseball coaches gathered in New York City to formulate ideas for the promotion and improvement of the collegiate game. More than 140 coaches responded to the survey approving the formation of a college baseball coaching organization.
Since those early years, the Association has grown to over 7,000 members with members from more than 20 different countries. By 1980, the AACBC's membership had broadened significantly to include coaches other than just college members. At the January, 1981 convention held in Miami, the membership voted to change the name of the Association to the present name of the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA).
The American Baseball Coaches Association had three 2015 national champion coaches – Brian O'Connor of Virginia, Joe Brown of SUNY Cortland and Jeremiah Robbins of Lewis-Clark State – as well as best-selling author Jon Gordon and MLB Hall of Famer John Smoltz as just some of their Clinic Speakers. Over 5600 ABCA members attended the clinics at the 2016 ABCA Convention in Nashville. -

USSSA
The primary focus of USSSA Baseball is the development of programs that allow teams of all skill levels to compete against one another. USSSA believes the overall development of all players can be enhanced by the experience and fun of national tournament play. Until now the majority of players were denied this opportunity because of their skill level. USSSA Baseball offers programs for four levels of play. Major and AAA programs are national programs that culminate in a World Series. The AA program is a regional program ran by the participating states that culminates at a National tournament. The A level is for recreational teams and is at a state level only.
