About The Club

Supporting Virginia Baseball
Through NIL

The 1186 Club was founded with one purpose: to directly support UVA Baseball student-athletes through Name, Image, and Likeness opportunities.

The name represents the 1,186 miles from Disharoon Park to Omaha — home of the Men's College World Series and the ultimate destination for every Cavalier who takes the field.

Every dollar raised through The 1186 Club goes directly to the players who represent Virginia on the diamond. No middlemen. No overhead. Just impact.
