Coach Scot Baseball

In the fall of 2012, a new family moved to Roosevelt Island with two young boys eager to play baseball, and baseball only. Having coached the kids in our local recreational youth baseball leagues, they approached Coach Scot and asked if he could help organize baseball activity on weekends in the fall. He told them to call their friends and to meet on the field across from the island school on Sunday morning. If enough kids showed up, he'd help organize a game. Kids did show up and we played that Sunday. And we've been playing every Sunday ever since. 

We are now running Coach Scot Baseball all year, every Sunday, with yearly registrations of over 500 kids. We have multiple age groups in different time slots, from 7 years old to 14 years old. All sessions begin with warmups and then rotating groups working on FUNdamentals; drills that build on top of each other each week. Following fundamentals, we create evenly matched teams, and we play a game.

We have also added summer weekday programs that consist not only of baseball, but other fun, team-building activities that give kids a sense of fair play, respect, and sportsmanship all through outdoor activities.
