About Us
The ABA Story
ABA Sports, founded on Long Island in 1994, has had one goal in mind since the beginning:
"To provide their teams & players with the most enjoyable experience and well-organized league around."
"To provide their teams & players with the most enjoyable experience and well-organized league around."
In just our first year, ABA registered 53 teams in it's Softball Program. Word quickly spread across Long Island that there was a new league that did things ‘differently‘ and treated teams as ‘customers.' Considered the best kept secret by many, but not for long...
From 1996 through 1999, ABA launched innovative benefits, acquired many quality field locations and ultimately charged ahead with a growth of 40-50% more teams each and every year. ABA was a secret no more. All of this was taking place while the game of Softball was declared a ‘dying breed‘ by other organizations.
In the Fall of 1997, ABA launched Long Island‘s 1st website: abasports.com and longislandsoftball.com. The website was ahead of it‘s time back then as many individuals weren‘t online at this point, but the few that were raved about weekly League Standings, Team Statistics, League & Team News, Free Agency, and Registration with the click of a button.
From 2000 to 2002, the league more than doubled in size and was voted ‘Best Softball League on Long Island‘ for the 6th year in a row in the Team Manager Survey. A brand name was born as our ABA Softball League quickly rose to the top of the ranks to become the largest Adult Softball League on Long Island with over 700 teams participating annually on the highest-quality softball fields.
Now ABA Sports excels in not only Softball, but Basketball and Coed Dodgeball. These sports are growing each and every season and we're putting you right in the center of the action!

Without any compromise in quality, the league is able to grow due to the ‘system‘ we have developed, which ensures our teams experience the highest organization and easiest accessibility to speak to a league representative 24 hours a day.
Providing teams with the best organization, accessibility, personalized service, and field quality continues to be our goal, and we will never be satisfied.
We understand that as a team manager, or player, you have many leagues from which to choose. Was a customer we understand that it‘s important for you to investigate all of your options. If you are going to call other organizations, make sure to ask lots of questions before making your decision. But of course, we'd love for you to choose ABA Sports as YOUR league, and we know you'll keep you coming back if you do.
