2012 Baseball Buddies

A Challenger League Program

We are very excited to share with you the return of Baseball Buddies, a program

organized by North Miami Beach Little League (“NMBLLâ€). Baseball Buddies pairs

experienced NMBLL players with youth who have special needs or haven’t had the

confidence to participate in organized baseball in the past.

This program will occur over six Sundays in the fall of 2012. We will be focusing on

skills, drills, and teaching the basics of the game of baseball. Also, we will have

informal game play in order to allow players to experience the thrill of

participating in a team sport. The program will be held on September 30, October

7, 14, 21 and 28; and November 4. The sessions will typically be held at around

11am at Pelican Park in Sunny Isles.

Every child will be assigned a “buddyâ€, typically an 11-17 year old current or former

member of NMBLL who loves baseball and wants to help others learn to love the

game as well. While we wish to welcome all children with special needs, due to the

fact that the buddies will also be children, we ask parents to use their discretion

as to whether their child can attend and take direction to participate. Our goal is

to accommodate every child if possible. We also ask that an adult for each child

attend every session.

If you are interested in having your child participate as a player, registration

materials are available on our website at www.nmbll.org. If you have any questions,

please contact us at NMBbaseballbuddies@... or call Ronni Bianco at
