  • Values and Mission

    Our motto is to "pursue the crown."  In 1 Corinthians 9:25, Paul wrote, "Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training.  They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever" (NIV).  As athletes, we dedicate countless hours of attention and focus to developing in our sport.  Although we should pursue our passion in athletics with all of our ability, we should equally be pursuing our relationship with God because as Paul writes, the crowns of our sport will not last, but the crown of Christ will last forever.


    What this means for us as coaches and players is that we ought to play the game differently than the average baseball player does.  We must buy in to the following values: Hustle, Attitude, and Toughness.  When other teams, parents, umpires, and coaches watch us play, we aspire for them to notice a difference in the way we play the game.  We play for a higher purpose.  We do not take our God-given talents for granted.  We play every pitch as if it were our last.  Our coaches and players hustle on and off the field at all times. We have good attitudes, encourage one another, and respond appropriately both to victory and adversity.  Finally, we play the game with an unrivaled toughness, both physically and mentally.


  • Faith-Based Approach

    Our program is open to all players, whether they grew up in the Church or have no faith at all.  We see our role as exposing our players to what a relationship with Christ looks like and how that impacts there lives a young men and athletes.


    We attempt to accomplish this through team prayer, bible studies, community service, and fellowship events outside of baseball.

  • About the KCCBL

    Launched in 2024, the Kansas City Collegiate Baseball League (KCCBL) has rapidly established itself as the nation's premier college summer wood bat baseball league. In just three years, we've grown from 8 teams to an impressive 14-team roster, earning recognition from industry leaders as the largest league of its kind in the country.


    Based in Kansas City—a dynamic and often underestimated baseball hub—KCCBL attracts elite college talent from across the nation. Our league provides an unparalleled competitive platform where players face top-tier competition while gaining invaluable exposure to recruiters, coaches, and professional scouts.

  • Purpose of Summer Collegiate Baseball

    This is a great opportunity for college-aged players to play locally in KC with other players and coaches that have an Impact Athlete mindset. We typically carry 12 pitcher only's that each get 1-3 innings per week. We carry a position player roster of 14-16 players, guaranteeing at least one start per week. The league consists of two double headers per week, preseason showcase, an all star game, and playoffs.

  • Pricing

    League fees due to PBR at registration are $450.


    Fees to Impact to break even and cover costs are $250.


    However, we are seeking donations as our organization, Pursue the Crown, is a registered non-profit 501(c)(3). The goal will be to cover as much of the costs listed above, wood bats, individual facility memberships, and uniforms.
