From the Executive Director: As a child, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to play little league baseball on a competitive level. This was due to the support of a strong single mother and several select individuals in the community who not only recognized my talent, but also took special and direct interest in developing it. Our partnership with Major League Baseball was created in an effort to provide the same type of support I received as a child to local youths ages 3 to 18 in Kansas City Kansas and metro surrounding areas. I understand that many inner-city parents are turned off by baseball because of the finances required for the game, but I also am aware that if I am able to minimize player fees, provide the necessary equipment and provide proper fields as well as training facilities, the rewards children experience will last a lifetime. Baseball not only created a financial opportunity for me to receive a college education, but it also helped cultivate a disciplined, determined and secure self-identity. My goal is to guide as many inner-city youth as possible to college by teaching them leadership and the fundamentals of baseball. |
