American Legion Post 176 - Youth Programs
The American Legion offers a variety of youth programs that stand to help develop and nurture the youth of America. These youth programs stand to help our youth develop the characteristics that will prepare them for adulthood. Please feel free to browse all the programs we provide below:
Legion Baseball
Post 176 has sponsored an American Legion baseball team for over 75 years. We offer extensive playing time opportunities that are difficult to find in the Springfield area. Our league plays 9-inning games, 20 regular season games, District, and State tournaments. Legion Baseball costs a fraction of what other travel organizations cost due to the sponsorship from our post.
