The Venezuelan Summer League (VSL) was a Minor League Baseball rookie-level circuit which operated in the Major League Baseball's academies in the Venezuelan state of Carabobo. The VSL was created in 1997 as an alternative to the Dominican Summer League to improve the development of young prospects from Venezuela in their early years in organized baseball. Besides Carabobo, the states of Aragua, Lara and Yaracuy were represented in the league.
