What We Provide
Elite Baseball Training
We are absolutely thrilled to announce our exciting partnership with Backyard Baseball Labs, a fantastic local organization that's all about giving underserved youth in our community the chance to shine in baseball! Thanks to this awesome collaboration, we're able to offer our program participants completely free access to top-notch baseball training.
And guess what? Backyard Baseball Labs is led by not one, but two former MLB pitchers, both fired up and ready to help our kids become true champions, both on and off the field!
Little League Teams
We've teamed up with the incredible City of Petersburg to launch a brand-new little league team for the awesome kids in our area! And guess what? This amazing program is proudly funded by none other than the MLB/RBI program!
They're hooking us up with everything our young baseball stars need – from bats and helmets to catching gear, uniforms, and pants. Can you believe it? Now, every child who dreams of stepping up to the plate can do so without a single worry about the cost of equipment. Let's play ball!
After School Baseball & Literacy Programs
We are absolutely thrilled to announce our incredible partnership with local schools in the vibrant City of Petersburg, along with our collaboration with the fantastic Resist Books (Petersburg) initiative! Together, we're bringing the magic of baseball and the joy of literacy right into the heart of the school day.
This exciting endeavor enables us to extend our reach to those wonderful kids who might face transportation challenges when it comes to participating in after-school activities. By offering these incredible programs during school hours, we are casting a wider net, touching the lives of even more children, and igniting their passion for learning and sports!
Let's create a brighter future for these young minds, filled with the excitement of books and the exhilaration of the baseball diamond!
Mentorship and Financial Literacy
In addition to our dynamic baseball training, we're thrilled to provide an essential extra dimension to our program.
Beyond the ballpark, we're diving deep into mentorship and financial literacy education. Imagine regular sessions where we're equipping them with budgeting, saving, and investing know-how. But that's not all!
They've got an amazing support crew of adult role models cheering them on every step of the way. It's not just baseball; it's about creating confident, financially savvy, and mentored champions of the future!
Creating A Safe & Supportive Community
One of the absolute cornerstones of our program is the unbridled enthusiasm for building a vibrant, safe, and incredibly supportive community for our program participants.
We're steadfast believers that this sense of community is absolutely vital for nurturing the growth of children, instilling in them essential social and emotional skills, and fostering an unwavering sense of belonging and self-worth. It's all about making them feel like they're part of something truly special!
To bring this vision to life, we're all about the power of teamwork, collaboration, and nurturing positive relationships – both on and off the field. Together, we're not just playing a sport; we're crafting an environment where these young minds can thrive and flourish!
