Collegiate summer baseball

Collegiate summer leagues allow college baseball players the ability to compete using professional rules and equipment, giving them experience and allowing professional scouts the opportunity to observe players under such conditions.

They report to summer leagues after completing their spring collegiate season with their NCAA, NAIA, NJCAA, CCCAA, and NWAC teams.

Some players arrive late due to their college team's postseason play, which sometimes runs into early June.

During the season, players are housed by volunteer host families and bussed to and from road games.
