How does team membership and payment work?
Team memberships cover a full program cycle (a season or a full year) and are paid in monthly installments or in full. Your financial commitment covers the entire program cycle, so payments continue even if a player stops attending. Uniforms are custom made and ordered separately. Log in to your family portal at expressbaseballclub.com/login to see payments made and left, update your card on file and download your contract.
How do I cancel or not renew?
Memberships roll over automatically from one participation period to the next, so if you are staying there is nothing to do. If you are not coming back, log in to your family portal at expressbaseballclub.com/login near the end of your current participation period. A cancel button shows up there during your cancellation window, 60 to 90 days before your next period starts. Submit it in that window and your membership will not renew.

Yes. Express alumni have gone on to play at universities, junior colleges and in professional baseball. See our alumni page.
