Founded in 1939, Chico American Legion Baseball has four competitive teams for players between the ages of 14-19, comprised of the most talented players from Chico, Paradise, Durham, Willows, Colusa, Maxwell, and Hamilton. The Chico Nuts are the premier team (17-19) and the Chico Suns Blue, Chico Suns Red, and Chico Rice are all developmental teams that each play 30-65 games during the spring and summer, and an additional 20-30 during the fall.
Our program is led by the four time California State American Legion champion Chico Nuts. In our continual effort to develop skills and character through competition, hard work, and brotherhood, we have the Chico Suns (17U), Chico Rice (14U). Enjoy the game and experience.
