Each year nearly 100,000 young men participate in American Legion Baseball, the nation’s oldest, and most-respected nationwide baseball program. Through American Legion Post sponsorship in all 50 states these young men learn practical lessons in sportsmanship and citizenship.

The team name was changed from Northwestern to Northern Valley in 2010. Northern Valley is a member of the Lehigh Valley League.
