About:
  
The Club Baseball Team is a club sport team that competes in the National Club Baseball Association (NCBA) at the Division II level. The NCBA has teams from all over the country. We play a schedule that occurs in the fall and spring, and we usually play teams from New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. Our team usually plays home games at Weehawken's High School field above the Lincoln Tunnel or on Dobbelaar Field, home of the Stevens Ducks baseball team.  
 
Frequently Asked Questions:
  
When does the season start? 
The season begins with practices starting in September and games soon after. Our fall portion usually ends within the first few weeks in November. We typically begin our spring portion of the season a few weeks into February.  
 
What is the game schedule like? 
We will play around 15-18 games, guaranteed, which we determine based on the size of our conference. We occasionally schedule out-of-conference games to balance out our schedule. Against each conference opponent, we will play three games on a weekend. The game format is a 7/7 doubleheader on one day, then a seven-inning contest the other day. 95% of our games occur on Saturday and Sunday, with the rare Friday night game occasionally.   
 
How often does the team practice? 
Generally, we practice at least once a week on Dobbelaar Field, with occasional indoor practices sprinkled in.  
 
What are practices like? 
Our outdoor practices usually involve defensive work, drill work, and batting practices. We often have a couple of batting cages and bullpens for indoor practices for those who want to throw.  
 
Do I have to play both semesters? 
While we encourage team membership during both semesters, students are not required to play for both semesters.  
 
Does it cost money to play? 
Yes. Players must pay dues each semester to be on the team. Dues will generally be between $150 and 250 dollars per semester. More significant membership will lead to dues being cheaper.  
  
What do my dues fund? 
Dues go towards our league membership, paying our coach, and paying for transportation to each of our away games. 
 
Do we have jerseys and equipment? 
Our team has hats that each player gets to keep. Jerseys are borrowed and returned to our supply at the end of each season. Our team has a supply of bats, batting helmets, catcher's gear, and balls that all members are free to use.
