The Old North State League began as a small dream shared between a father and son. The son, Alec Allred, is a professional baseball player working his way through independent minor league baseball, with his dad, Reggie Allred, being his biggest supporter and an entrepreneur. In late summer of 2018, Alec phoned his dad on his way back home to North Carolina from his team in Michigan. What started as a casual conversation to pass the time during the 10-hour car ride soon turned into the creation of one of the largest Summer Collegiate Baseball Leagues in the United States, along with a national plan to unite all college summer baseball leagues.
In March of 2023, the Old North State League signed an agreement to become the first Partner League of The Players League, also known as the “League of Leagues”.
The Players League, based out of North Carolina, is a new and innovative take on the structure of baseball in America. Inspired by the professional baseball league of the 1890s and owned by the players themselves, the new TPL seeks to fulfill the goals set out by those players over a century ago.
One of TPL's main objectives is to foster unity among leagues in order to drive innovation, prioritize player health, nurture athletes' development, and support baseball teams in scaling as major sports entertainment businesses.
To realize this vision, The Players League is strategically partnering with leaders in the sports and entertainment industry across the country. Through these collaborations, we aim to transform the way players are valued and treated within the game.
