There are currently 5 full-time teams in the ATVBBL: The Bisbee Bees, Glendale Gophers, Phoenix Senators, Tucson Saguaros and the Bisbee Black Socks.  Click on the team logos to be taken to that team's page.

 

If you would like to play, you can join an existing team, or form one of your own.  We're always looking for new players, and we're also looking to expand the league.  To join an existing team, figure out which team is in your area, then click on their logo below to visit their web page.  You can then send an e-mail to the club captain, or any club contact.  You could also check their schedule and attend an upcoming game and talk to members of the team there.

 

To start a new team, send an e-mail to Lance Busch, and he can fill you in on the details of what you'd need to start your club.

 

Although called the "Bisbee Bees", the Bees actually play at Varney Park in Peoria, and represent Peoria and North Phoenix.  They maintain their ties to Bisbee by usually making at least one trip a year to play at historic Warren Ballpark in Bisbee.

The Bees were founded in 2007 by John Tenney, a native of Bisbee, who named his team after an actual minor league team that played there from 1928 to 1941.

The Glendale Gophers are a new team to the ATVBBL this season, and will play across the street from the Cardinals Stadium.  They are founded by Lance "Bulldozer" Busch, who previously played for the Phoenix Senators.

The Phoenix Senators were founded in 2008 by Neil Singh, and play their home games at McQueen Park in Gilbert.  They are named after an actual minor league team that played in Phoenix on and off from 1915 to 1953.  The modern-day Senators include players from all parts of the valley.
