Event Information
The Iowa Select Spring League enters its 31st year as the premier opportunity for Iowa’s top high-school talent to compete during the spring. Designed for the best players in Iowa and throughout the Midwest, the league provides a high-level developmental and competitive environment spanning five weekends across March and April.

Since its launch in 1996, the league has been a proven pathway to the next level.

No other spring baseball platform in the region produces this level of long-term success and exposure.
