PROGRAM MISSION STATEMENT
Dixie Boys Baseball, Inc. was founded in 1957 at Alexandria, Louisiana. The mission of the program is to provide a recreational outlet for as many 13-19 year old participants as possible. The program currently operates in eleven southeastern states and attracts over 35,000 players.
Dixie Baseball, Inc. is governed by a Board of Directors and is comprised of Executive Officers as well as elected State Officials. The members of the Board (currently thirty-five) are responsible for determining program policies and rules. The Commissioner/CEO is responsible for managing the day to day affairs of the organization.
Leagues must comply with a basic set of rules and regulations as found in the rule book. The rules that appear in the Dixie Boys Baseball book are specific rules adopted by the Board of Directors. All other rules are found in the official playing rules of Major League Baseball. The Dixie Boys Baseball Commissioner/CEO is responsible for interpretation and rule enforcement.
League play is emphasized in the Dixie organization. Franchises/local leagues are given a great deal of autonomy in determining the specific program that will meet the community/school needs. The administrative functions that are necessary to successfully operate a local league are supported by the District and State Director.
While emphasis is on league play there is; however, district tournaments, state tournaments and a world series event for leagues wishing to participate after the close of the regular season. Dixie Boys Baseball, Inc. has a rich tradition of offering quality events that capture the true essence of competitive play. The organization takes great pride in offering “premier events” that provides a memorable experience for everyone.
