The Blacksburg Baseball Association is a self-funded organization developed to provide players in the Blacksburg school district with the opportunity to participate in competitive baseball. The BBA is an official franchise of Dixie Youth Baseball.
Each Spring, BBA Dixie Youth teams from Blacksburg participate in a local league consisting of teams from Auburn, Christiansburg, Radford, and Shawsville. Each age group division is comprised of about 18-20 area teams. Teams will typically play each other once, resulting in a 18-20 game schedule.
In cooperation with the Town of Blacksburg's Parks and Recreation Department, the BBA is also the franchise holder of the Dixie Boys (13-14 year-olds), and NABF wood Bat league (15-18 year-olds) baseball programs for Blacksburg.
Additionally, the BBA runs a developmental Fall Baseball Program, and a Middle School Program in the Spring for players at Blacksburg Middle School. The BBA also plays a major support role for the BHS Varsity & JV programs.
