Club Baseball at the University of Virginia was established in the Spring of 1994. Since its inception, Virginia has always put out a competitive team. Virginia is a member of the National Club Baseball Association (NCBA) and part of the highly regarded MAC-North Conference that includes Virginia Tech, James Madison, George Washington, Maryland, and Towson.

The team plays a fall and an official spring season. Games are played in two or three game sets on the weekend against schools on the east coast. All home games and practices take place at Burley Field. Practices are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8pm.

Open tryouts are held at the beginning of the fall semester each year. The team's needs are different each year so we encourage you to tryout more than once. Contact the president for more information.

2007-2008 Infielder Nick Bonard was inaugurated club president for the fall 2007 and spring 2008 seasons. The fall season was a tumultuous one that included bringing in twelve "newbies" and the carpool of Nick, the vice president, and the treasurer mysteriously showing up late for a North Carolina road trip. UVA started off the spring 2-4, but rebounded to win 10 of its next 12 games, including three-game sweeps of Richmond and Georgia. That stretch put the Hoos in first place and on the verge of a berth in the MAC championship series that was derailed by a late-season sweep at the hands of Virginia Tech. The team finished the spring with a 13-9 record.

2005-2006 Gabe Orsinger inherited the presidency in the fall of 2005.  “Father Gabraham” led a talented mix of rookies and veterans to a run as good as any in the history of the program.  They worked their way into the finals of the first ACC Club Baseball Tournament where they outlasted UNC for the title, defeating many nationally ranked teams along the way.  The team won out the rest of the fall and carried an 11-game winning streak through early in the spring.  However, the team lost the contributions of several key members along the way, as well as losing some team chemistry in a controversy arising from the decision to purchase team jackets over sweatpants.  As a result, the team finished in the middle of the pack in the tough MAC-South. 

2004-2005 John Arseneau lead the club for the fall 2004 and spring 2005 seasons. Despite his futility in intrasquad scrimmages (Team Arse was 0-2 vs. Team Caz), Arse was able to bring the winning tradition back to UVA Club Ball, going 6-3 in the fall and 11-4 in the spring. The snow and rain-shortened spring season began with a 4-0 road trip to North Carolina and included a series win over rival Virginia Tech. UVA just missed out on the MAC South title, losing out to JMU in the final series of the year. Performance on the field aside, Arse’s greatest accomplishments could be how he handled the clubhouse, namely the A.Lau-Sherman incident and finding shirts big enough for Vic and Super Dave.

2003-2004 Brady Lauback took over the team in the fall of 2003. He battled to overcome budget cuts and the loss of several starters to new varsity coach Brian O'Connor... not to mention the separated shoulder he sustained in the dramatic high-fiving following the Patriots Super Bowl win. Several new young players emerged, but the team's inconsistent play led to a disappointing .500 record and a second straight year of failing at their goal of returning to the Series.

2002-2003 "The Furher", Karl Brimmer, led this talented group through a strong '02 fall season. They won Maryland's Fall Break tournament in a 12-inning affair against NC State that lasted so long that the field sprinklers on timers came on during the game. With the pick-up of stud hitter Mike Priest (4 HR in a double-header against Richmond), UVA headed into the spring season looking to take its 3rd straight conference title. It came down to a bitter final weekend series vs. JMU. Unfortunately, the Dukes took 2 of 3 from the Hoos this time to claim the World Series bid in Bradenton, FL.

2001-2002 In the Fall of 2001, Jon Wohlers stepped in as the front man and the Cavs picked up right where they left off. Behind solid play and key first year pickups, UVA won the 2001 JMU Fall Tournament. The Cavs then entered the 2002 NCBA season with high expectations, and they did not disappoint. Although coming down to the final game of the season, UVA was once again crowned the Mid Atlantic Conference Champions and Wohlers and the crew were headed to Pueblo, Colorado for the 2002 NCBA World Series. The team had a blast in Pueblo and played tough, but was eliminated from the tournament in the third round.

1999-2001Wes McCoubrie (left) and Jake Burns have continued the team's winning ways through its seventh year of existance.  Jake has consistently been amoung the team leaders in at-bats, average, steals, and complaints.  He was also tied for the home run lead with the team's big boys (Shivickas, Robbie, and Joe).  Wes is more the emotional leader, known for the kind of  motivational speeches that simply win ballgames.  With a stellar first year class in '99 and a solid core of veterans, UVA is looking to reaffirm its position at the top of the standings....  At the close of the inaugural season of the National Club Baseball Assocation (NCBA) in the Spring of 2001, things looked bright for the Cavs. Wes led the team to a top place finish in the Mid-Atlantic Conference, earning a berth to the first ever NCBA World Series in Syracuse, NY. The team played incredibly in Syracuse, cruising to the championship game of the double illumination tournament unbeaten. Wes and the gang came up a bit short in the end, however, and had to settle for second in the nation behind the University of Texas.

1998-1999 Tim Smythe took the reigns after Dave left and lead the team to another successful season, including a UNC Tournament victory, which gave club baseball its only presence in the Memorial Gym trophy case.  The only man that could do 90 in a Dodge Aries, Tim was perhaps the best lefty the team has ever seen.  Our outfielders would literally take the inning off when he was on the mound.

1997-1998 Dave Urbanek is the last member of the original team back in '94 to make it through the system, and an inspirational leader to say the least. He saw his fourth year season cut short by a shoulder injury, but still had a great time at the games and on the road trips (and had a great comeback at second base for the last game of the season). Known for his temper more than his power, there is atleast one person who will definitely miss this team more than anything else at UVa.

1996-1997 Scott Imperatore brought organization to the team, and unfortunately for him (and us) the entire spring of '97 was rained on. Scott was known for breaking out the Boston accent at random times, and living out of his trunk. His unique throwing style and swing always brought a smile to my face - God knows how he hit those homeruns. Scott might have been the last coach to wear number 13...

1995-1996 Jonathon Platt co-founded the team with Shoney, and was in every sense of the word a true "f*** up". Many times we had to break into his room on an early Saturday morning to get his hungover ass out of bed to make the trip down to Carolina. He was a great coach, however, and a great pitcher until his arm gave out his fourth year.

1994-1995 Andrew Schoneman founded UVa Club Baseball in the spring of 1994, and the first team was put together the following fall. Things were somewhat unorganized then, but what do you expect from a bunch of misfits? "Shoney" was a great catcher, and started the tradition of coaches wearing the number 13 (in his memory). It is now believed that he's working at a Taco Bell out in Seattle (and still fluent in Japanese).
