About the Brewerytown Baseball Program
Give and Go runs a three-season baseball program in Brewerytown for youth ages 4-12. The team practices independently and collaboratively with other local nonprofits January through October at the historic Athletic Square Park (27th and Master/Jefferson), the site of the first recorded interracial and National League baseball games. Give and Go baseball coaches prioritize community-building, long-term athlete development, and cultivating a love for the game. Practices feature a mix of creative drills and games intended to foster positive relationships, build motor skill function, teach baseball fundamentals, and introduce youth to baseball-style games they can play together outside of practice. The program is open to youth of any experience level.
