Castro Valley Independent Baseball League: Welcome

Castro Valley Independent Baseball League -- often referred to as CVI -- is dedicated to providing an opportunity for kids ages 5 through 18 to play baseball and since 2008 Flag Football has been added.

Being an independent league, CVI has no residency requirements and therefore draws from Castro Valley, Hayward, San Leandro, San Lorenzo, and other nearby cities. The goal of the league is to provide a positive atmosphere that provides kids the opportunity to participate in a team sport and interact with other players. All players have an equal chance to play amongst others within their skill level and learn the game of baseball and flag football. Most importantly, everyone has fun.

CVI has four locations for games and practice. Canyon Middle School is utilized for the Senior, Intermediate, A, B and C Divisions, Strobridge and Marshall School are used exclusively by the Junior divisions for the baseball programs,  Marshall School will host most of the Flag Football games.

Rick has been a manager, coach and Board Member for many years and he along with his wife Denise, sons Nick, Ryan and Logan will be fantastic representatives of CVI.
