Mission Statement - Our baseball league is geared towards inner city youth with a focus on diversity and inclusion. Our goal is to bring competitive baseball, along with additional athletic activity opportunities throughout the year, to youth in the metro area at an affordable price. The percentage of youth who participate in competitive baseball is significantly lower than the suburbs. Sports in suburban areas have strong organized leagues and financial support. Our mission is to offer the same opportunity for youth in the inner city to play competitive baseball amongst great players all over the country. Our players often come from underprivileged households that sometimes cannot afford the expenses associated with quality travel baseball. Sports have been proven to build social skills, keep youth away from drugs, violence, and other negative activities, increase concentration in school, and build confidence. Clinical studies also show that sports have been proven to help youth establish lifelong, healthy, physical activity patterns. Our league aims to create a positive and inspirational environment for our players both on and off the field. We strive to level the playing field and give New York City youth access to the same opportunities as other kids in the country at an affordable price. To make our mission a reality, we will depend on sponsorships to provide inexpensive league membership to our teams/players. Our goal is to never turn a player down due to financial or economic hardships.
