Clifton Junior Athletic League (CJAL) is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, run entirely by volunteers, to promote, develop and supervise youth baseball. We have served the community of Clifton, New Jersey, since 1953, and we continue to provide organized youth baseball programs for over 300 children, ranging in ages from 5 thru 15. We operate out of the Albion Memorial Park Fieldhouse, which is located at 237 Maplewood Avenue. Albion Memorial Park is home to 3 baseball fields, a batting cage, a concessions stand and restrooms (as well as tennis courts, a basketball court and a new playground). 

The Clifton Junior Athletic League Youth Baseball Organization proudly charters with Babe Ruth League, Cal Ripken Baseball (a division of Babe Ruth League, Inc.), and Bambino Buddy-Ball.
