UCSD Club Baseball is a competitive team that aims to give passionate students the opportunity to continue their baseball careers. 

Since 2010, this team has played in the National Club Baseball Association at the Division 1 level. In the SoPac South Region, we play conference games against San Diego State, Arizona State, University of Arizona, Grand Canyon, and Northern Arizona. The goal is to make it to the NCBA Regional Tournament and then the World Series.

Our team is completely student-run, so we prioritize a healthy student life balance above all else. This team is a commitment and we hold high expectations for all our players, but we offer a degree of flexibility that helps student athletes achieve on and off the field.

The team practices 4 times (5-8 hrs) per week, including on-campus field practices, performance training at the Spanos Athletic Performance Center, and off-campus batting cages. Most of our practices are at night to avoid conflict with class schedules. Games take place exclusively on weekends, usually consisting of a 3 game series. We play about 5 series (on average) per quarter year round, with our conference season taking place February -  May.

The annual player fees will be $700 total, $350 for the off-season and $350 for the conference season. This pays for all the fields, umpires, travel accommodations, equipment, and apparel (hats + shirts). We do offer payment plans for those who need it.

Feel free to email us any further questions.
