Congratulations
Please join me in congratulating Christian Smith in his recent promotion to NCBA Vice-President of Baseball Operations! For the past 8 years, Christian has done an outstanding job of growing every aspect of the NCBA and CollClubSports that he’s been responsible for, and it is with great pride that we make this next big step in the future success of our great organization. I am supremely confident that under Christian’s direction the NCBA will not only continue to thrive as it has for the past 14 years but further enhance the club baseball experience for all participants and staff alike. Christian will now begin a 3 month transition process into his new role overseeing both the NCBA Division 1 and Division 2 leagues. His full transition is scheduled to be complete on July 1st of this year. In the mean time, day to day operations of both leagues will continue as normal until you are officially notified of any change. Please join me in congratulating Christian on his new position.
