MSS Buddy Ball Celebrates 10 Years!!!

It is absolutely incredible to think that a small gathering of special needs players and their families formed a club of baseball players 10 years ago, but here we are still!  We all look forward to having our best season yet!

  • If you know of anyone who would be interested in volunteering as a coach or buddy, please direct them to one of the on-field coaches (purple shirts).   No free help will be turned away!
  • Congratulations to the Mets, Yankees, Pirates, and Red Sox on an awesome parade and first day to the season!  Pictures can be found under the normal tab, titled "2016 Baseball Parade."
  • Please visit the donors and sponsors page and support them when you can.
  • A special thank you is needed to those who have donated ten years of their lives to our programs - no small gift can every be repayment enough for what you have done to benefit the lives of children with special needs within our community!  We only look to grow stronger in numbers in the future and be inclusive to even more players with special needs!
