NABA D-1 Baseballs 

NABA baseballs

The National Adult Baseball Association uses the Diamond Baseball as the Official Baseball of our NABA Leagues across the country and at our NABA Tournaments.
Diamond Logo
The NABA D-1 Baseball is exclusively designed by Diamond Sports for the NABA.  Our own NABA model baseball is a cross between the D-1 College and the D-1 High School baseball made by Diamond. 
Because of our volume of purchase with Diamond we can give our NABA members a deal at $49.95 per dozen.  The D-1 High School baseball is $57.99 per dozen retail and the D-1 College baseball is $67.99 per dozen, giving you a significant discount from the retail price by purchasing the NABA D-1 baseball through NABA.
The NABA D-1 Baseball has our NABA logo on the ball, and has "OFFICIAL BALL - NATIONAL ADULT BASEBALL ASSOCIATION" inscribed on it.

TEGS - Official Grip of the NABA

With baseball season kicking into high gear, Grip-Tech is looking forward to supporting player performance as the Official Grip of the National Adult Baseball Association!

 

Many of your NABA league presidents will be receiving sample packages of our Technologically Enhanced Grip System (TEGSā„¢) in the mail shortly.

 

A study showed a significant performance improvement by athletes using TEGS on bat grips and batting gloves. The players experienced a 4.4 percent increase in bat speed, which can translate into a fly ball traveling 16.6 feet farther simply through the use of TEGS on batting gloves. TEGS delivers a tenacious grip via thousands of gripping fingers that lock on contact and maintain up to a 270% increase in grip. The result is increased bat control and a more powerful swing.

 

We look forward to hearing from NABA members about their experiences with TEGS. We hope you will experience the same noticeable edge at the plate!

 

To learn more, please visit our web site at www.tegsgrip.com or e-mail info@tegsgrip.com. And remember, NABA Members receive 10% off all purchases with the promo code NABA10!

Greetings!
   

Looking to enjoy a week of competitive baseball with your friends against other teams from across the country? Have you ever wanted to win a World Series Ring? Well here is your opportunity to win  your own ring, and play on Major League Spring Training Stadium fields and complexes.
                                                                                                     
You don't want to miss out on NABA's Florida World Championship Series.  A trip full of fun in the sun in Jupiter, Florida.  This trip  allows you to play on one of the most premier Major League Spring Training fields and stadium (as in the pictures above)  all while competing for an NABA World Championship ring! Your support is what helps the NABA in maintaining a strong and competitive baseball experience for all adult baseball players across the country who still want to play the game of baseball.

 

The first cut off date is August, 31st for the Arizona World Series.  If you register before the first cutoff date your team will receive the lowest NABA rate of $160.00 per player for NABA affiliated teams and $180.00 for non-NABA teams. 

 

Please consider the World Series if it is your first time; and if you are a regular tournament team we would be honored to see you back at one of our tournaments.  Not only are they great fun and great competition, but the support of our NABA Tournaments help keep the costs down on your league affiliation fees, liability insurance and baseballs. We hope to see you out there playing for a World Championship.

 

Thank you for your support of the NABA and our events in 2015.

 

For America's Game,

 

Shane Fugita

President and National Director

 
If  you are bringing your team, but just can't make a deposit or payment right now, please complete our Pencil Me In form and we will add your team to our tournament list.
