Carolina Challenge Baseball League
The Carolina Challenge Baseball League, CCBL, was created by HQ4Baseball in 2005 to support Recreational Programs (Little League, Cal Ripken, Dixie Youth, Pony League) in the Charlotte area. The idea is to provide an alternative to "travel baseball" by providing tournament experience to teams made up of players that play "Rec" ball at area associations. CCBL runs tournaments for ages 7U, 8U, 9U, 10U, 11U and 12U.
We are proud to announce that we are expanding our structure to include host locations on the north side of Charlotte, in addition to our traditional host locations on the southern side. We are trying to help teams cut down on the miles driven as much as we can. Our Hosts are area associations that particpate in CCBL. For more information on the host locations, click here.
When teams register, they must select "Northern Division" or "Southern Division". The final location for each tournament will be posted on the game schedule, but you can select if you want to play on the North side or the South side of town.
