BFA Women’s College Baseball Program

At Baseball For All, our primary mission is to build gender equity in baseball by providing girls with opportunities to play, coach, and lead. Since 2015, we have succeeded in creating a framework that has fostered the establishment of an unprecedented number of girls’ baseball teams across the country. As of 2020, we have a strong network of girls’ baseball organizations, with over 75 teams across six age divisions in the United States alone.

As we look to the future, we seek to create systemic change for girls in baseball: to provide a path forward for women playing the sport. Since the opportunities don’t currently exist—we’re here to create them, starting with college baseball.

Why college baseball?

To continue to build gender equity in baseball, our goal is to develop more playing opportunities for women at the collegiate level. We will begin by establishing intercollegiate Club Baseball for women across the country—a necessary stepping stone to become an official collegiate sport through sanctioning of governing bodies like the NCAA.

The opportunity to play baseball in college is imperative to the development of baseball for girls and women. Girls need to know that they, like their male counterparts, can also continue playing the game they love at the next level. We do support co-ed college baseball —with over 140+ schools welcoming the opportunity to review female recruits. But in order to build further equity in the sport, we believe colleges must begin to offer baseball teams for women, and eventually scholarships and programming comparable to fastpitch and other sports.

So, what’s next?
