Anthracite Baseball Association

Champion athletes aren’t just born - they’re trained, molded and tested. Several past ABA players have gone on to play collegiate sports, with some even making it to the professional level.

 

Since 1948, the Anthracite Baseball Association (ABA) has a history of being a competitive force in the lower Anthracite Coal Region of Pennsylvania. That history is defined through the ABA family, which incorporates the Mt. Carmel Junior Baseball League, the Lower Anthracite Teener League and several other leagues that have joined throughout the area.

 

The Anthracite Baseball Association playing area encompasses the school districts of Line Mountain, Lourdes Regional, Mt. Carmel, North Schuylkill, Shamokin, Shikellamy and Southern. The ABA is expanding constantly and there are approximately 600-700 players that register yearly.
