Q.

No. The N.L.B.A. is a private, non-profit organization operating independently from the park district and the schools. The park district is instrumental in assisting the league with various maintenance and field issues. We have a good working cooperation as separate entities.

The league is amidst tremendous growth, now serving over 1,300 participants for the 2006 regular baseball season.

The N.L.B.A. was established in the 1960's! We adopted the nickname Rebels™, an Illinois registered service mark, in 1995.
