Bambino Buddy Ball
CKAA and Babe Ruth League, Inc. believe that every child has the right to participate in the games of baseball and softball.
Why Buddy Ball!
- The Bambino Buddy-Ball Division allows our athletes with unique abilities to enjoy the game on the same level that is experienced by other participants.
- Advancing the personal development of any child through team participation and kinship is an important step along the road to success and happiness.
- Bambino Buddy-Ball opens up a whole new world to our players with exceptional abilities - not only do they experience the thrill of participating, but they also get to experience team play and camaraderie.
- Buddy-Ball participants develop confidence and positive self-esteem.
- Participation assists with physical fitness and social skills.
- The joy and emotion experienced when a child puts on that first uniform or wears that first cap is like no other.
About Buddy Ball!
- Bambino Buddy-Ball is for boys, girls and young adults, aged 5–20 (and sometimes older), with mental and/or physical disabilities that have the desire to play organized, non-competitive baseball or softball.
- This division makes allowance for a “Buddy” to help the players swing a bat, round the bases, catch a ball, and enjoy all other aspects of the game.
- There are no restrictions to the age of the buddy.
- An emotionally rewarding experience for all involved as Buddy-Ball allows the buddies to feel good about helping their friends with unique abilities, while at the same time making it a fun and memorable time for all.
