STAMFORD - Catskill Mountain Little League will host Coach Ballgame’s National Sandlot Tour at their new facility at 65502 State Highway 10 in Stamford Thursday, July 18 from 5 - 8 p.m.
James Lowe (a.k.a.) Coach Ballgame teaches life lessons through baseball, aiming to revolutionize youth sports by emphasizing fun and building character alongside skill development. The Coach Ballgame Mission is to help children fall in love with baseball and softball and the invaluable life lessons it imparts, while empowering youth coaches to do the same with their own teams.
As the youth ambassador for Major League Baseball’s Play Ball Program, Coach Ballgame has taken his passion to prestigious venues such as The White House, Cooperstown, and MLBʼs All Star Game and World Series events. In fact, this will be just his second stop after returning from the MLB All-Star Game in Arlington, Texas.
The event is open to all children ages 5-12 regardless of league affiliation or residence and will be bolstered with local volunteers, coaches and teens from the community. Children of volunteers may receive a free registration with advance approval by contacting catskillmtnlittleleague@gmail.com
Following the event, Coach Ballgame will hold a free, 30-minute coaches’ clinic to unpack the excitement of the event and help coaches integrate these activities in their practices and team culture.
The event is sponsored in part with funding support provided by the Robinson Broadhurst Foundation and the cost is $40 per player with a $35 discount applied at checkout by using the code: OPPOTACO. Register online at tinyurl.com/coachballgame2024
