Fourth Season Of Neighborhood Baseball - June 27, 2008
 | | 07 - File Photo |
NORTH ADAMS — This summer, starting in mid-July, Northern Berkshire Neighbors, a program of the Northern Berkshire Community Coalition, will start its fourth season of Neighborhood Baseball. The goal of Neighborhood baseball is to encourage community spirit, teamwork, and participation with less emphasis on competition. The teams are made up of youth, both boys and girls ages 8-16, who live in a particular neighborhood or community.
Most of our youth have not had previous experience with organized sports. Neighborhood Baseball often provides them with their first experience and has been a springboard for youth to join regular organized sports. Overall the program builds confidence and teaches cooperation and is loads of fun for everyone. In the past years, the group has included teams from neighborhoods in North Adams and also a team from the town of Florida.
If there is a team from another neighborhood or community in Northern Berkshire that would be interested in participating in Neighborhood baseball from about July 20th – August 20th, Please contact Kathy Keeser to discuss how this could work. Kathy will be out of town from June 30th until July 10th. But, please leave her a message if you want more information on Neighborhood Baseball by contacting her at the coalition, 413-663-7588, ext. 13 or email: kkeeser@nbccoalition.org. |
