The Old Dominion State League is an Official Partner League of The Players League. Our goal at the ODSL is to create a player-centric league structurally designed for the players' enjoyment. Additionally, we aim to assist college baseball coaches in the region by providing opportunities for their players to stay local throughout the summer season. The ODSL aims for its teams to be community partners year-round, creating family-friendly environments for kids to fall in love with the game of baseball. ODSL Teams are massive economic booms to the local region and help all industries in the area grow through the added tourism and traffic visiting the team.
The Players League, based out of North Carolina, is a new and innovative take on the structure of baseball in America. Inspired by the professional baseball league of the 1890s and owned by the players themselves, the new TPL seeks to fulfill the goals set out by those players over a century ago. One of TPL's main objectives is to foster unity among leagues to drive innovation, prioritize player health, nurture athletes' development, and support baseball teams in scaling as major sports entertainment businesses. To realize this vision, The Players League is strategically partnering with leaders in the sports and entertainment industry across the country. Through these collaborations, we aim to transform how players are valued and treated within the game.
