REGISTRATION FOR SPRING 2022 IS NOW OPEN!
Bambino Buddy-Ball is for boys, and girls and young adults, ages 5-20*, living with special needs (mental and/or physical) that have the desire to play organized non-competitive baseball. Players are paired with MARA volunteers where they learn baseball skills and experience the thrill of team play and camaraderie in a safe, loving, and fun environment. Our program also helps to develop confidence and a positive self-esteem!
Coach: Rick Johnston, serves with Carmel Baptist’s JOY ministry
