For more than 30 years the Eastern Women’s Baseball Conference (EWBC) has been providing opportunities for women and girls to play baseball. The league, based in the DC and Baltimore metro areas, currently features three teams, with games beginning in May and going through August. Players in the EWBC come from all walks of life – students, teachers, doctors, lawyers, scientists, and more. They also span all ages and all levels of experience. Some teams have current/former U.S. National players and semi-pro softball players, but also roster those, who until they found the league, had never experienced organized team sports.

The EWBC strives to balance the recreational and competitive nature of baseball. While those just starting out enjoy the league at a play-by-play pace, a group of more competitive players created a travel team. Players wishing to compete at a higher level began the all-star team – DC Thunder – to play in regional and national tournaments. Additionally, the league assists the Thunder in hosting the Diamond Classic, an annual tournament held in Purcellville, VA over Memorial Day weekend, featuring national and international teams.

DC Girls Baseball coaches are drawn largely from the EWBC and our 16U-18U players join EWBC teams for regular playing opportunities over the spring and summer.
