Our Story

Buddy Ball is for youths and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities that have the desire to play organized, non-competitive baseball. Each player is assigned a "Buddy" that assists with playing the game. In Buddy Ball, all players get to hit, play the field, score, and win.

We also have other recreational sports and leisure activities we provide: Kickball, Cheerleading, and Fishing.

We provide all of our activities at no cost to the players or families.
