T-Ball & Jr. RBI
T-Ball
Designed to teach young children, ages 4-5, the basics of baseball, our T-Ball program welcomes interested kids to have fun on the field this summer. Supervised by Boys & Girls Club staff, games are held once a week for seven weeks. Players learn the skills including how to swing a bat and run the bases, as well as respect and how to be a good team player!
Jr. RBI (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities)
Jr. RBI, takes the rudimentary skills learned in T-Ball and builds on them each year as players advance toward our RBI league. Jr. RBI offers youth ages 6-12, the chance to learn skills as they move from hitting off a pitching machine (which always throws strikes) to playing with live pitchers. The primary goals of our Jr. RBI program are to teach baseball skills and rules, encourage sportsmanship, and provide a fun environment for beginner players.

Basketball leagues at the Club keep boys and girls ages 6-18 active during the winter while providing them with the opportunity to work on skill development and teamwork.
