Baseball and softball can be a powerful vehicle for youth development and school engagement, offering a constructive alternative for the key out-of-school hours that helps build self-confidence and teach important life lessons like teamwork, respect, commitment, and winning and losing. In addition to its pure play and development elements, baseball and softball also bring communities together by unifying people from different backgrounds, religions, ethnic groups, and socioeconomics as well as offering parents a way to connect with their kids.
