BAMBINO BUDDY BALL
Every child deserves the opportunity to participate in baseball and softball games. Southeast Denver Baseball & Softball League is proud to welcome players of all physical and mental abilities. For players aged 5-20 who are physically or cognitively challenged, we’re introducing Babe Ruth League’s Bambino Buddy-Ball Division.
This division accommodates a “buddy” who assists the player with tasks like swinging a bat, rounding the bases, and catching a ball. There are no restrictions on the age of the “buddy.” A Bambino Buddy-Ball team can consist of players aged 5-20 and sometimes even older.
The primary objective of the Bambino Buddy-Ball Division is to provide an inclusive and enjoyable environment for all participants. It fosters confidence and positive self-esteem in our challenged athletes, allowing them to experience the thrill of organized sports. Additionally, it contributes to their physical fitness and social development. The joy and emotion that come from witnessing or participating in this program is truly unparalleled.
Before the establishment of the Babe Ruth League’s Bambino Buddy-Ball Division, our special needs children often faced challenges in fully participating in baseball. However, with the support of a special buddy, they now have the chance to relish the same exhilarating experiences as their peers, including batting, hitting, and throwing.
COME ON, HAVE FUN, JOIN THE TEAM
The Bambino Buddy-Ball Division opens up a whole new world for our challenged children, not only allowing them to participate but also providing them with the opportunity to experience team play and camaraderie. The experience for the “buddy” in assisting a player with special needs is a wonderful opportunity to feel, learn and demonstrate empathy while having fun playing the game.
Engaging in team participation and fostering kinship are crucial steps in a child’s personal development, paving the way for success and happiness. For our introductory season, enrollment will be limited. Games will be played once a week, on weekends only.
