The Casaran Baseball Federation is the organizing body for professional and amateur on all levels in the Nation of Casari. The object of the Federation is to develop the sport among the youth of the country and provide recreational and teamwork-building opportunities through sport.

Professional Leagues

Professional Baseball Leagues in Casari are divided into 7 seperate divisions, from AAAA down to D, based on the length of the league's season and the pay level of the players. Teams are only allowed to take part in a single league. However, some leagues play interleague games against another which count in their standings, or schedule extra games against local or distant rivals.

Amateur Leagues

Adult Amateur Leagues are usually run on a local level, supported by the Federation. Unlike Soccer, Baseball does not have a wide-ranging league system with promotion and relegation, but teams are free to enter any of a number of leagues in their local communities or counties.

Youth Leagues

The main goal of the Federation is to operate Casari's Youth Baseball system, which kids can take part in on a community or city level based on age and talent groups and progress all the way to national championship competitions. Programs exist for both boys and girls and take place in several age groups. The entire Youth League system is supported by profits coming from or donated by Professional League championships, Level championships, and the National Professional Championships. These donations and payments have lead to almost all Youth Baseball Leagues being free or costing an extremely low fee for participation.
