Welcome to MAALB!
Welcome to the website for Montana and Alberta's Class AA, A, and B American Legion Baseball leagues and teams.
The Class AA division is a Senior (19-years-old and under) league comprised of teams whose players come from high schools that have a combined, or total, enrollment of more than 1,000 students. The league's web page can be accessed from the TEAMS tab above. The state champion advances to the Northwest Regional. The regional champion advances to the ALB World Series, which has been broadcast on ESPN during the second week of August since 2011.
The Class A division is also a Senior league, but is comprised of teams whose players come from high school that do not combine, or total, 1,000 students. Although the state champion does advance to a regional tournament, there is no world series for this level of teams.
The Class B division is primarily a Junior league (17-years-old and under). New legion teams typically play and register as Class B junior or senior teams if 18-year olds are going to be on the roster. There are many Class B invitational tournaments that are around Montana each summer. There is no officially sanctioned state tournament for this level.
