MISSION STATEMENT

The Defenders Baseball Club is a non-profit organization that provides a structured, positive environment for children ages 10 to 15 in the South Baltimore area. Our aim is to use the benefits of team sports to influence and nurture the children of our community at a pivotal time in their lives. Through baseball, we stress the importance of commitment, discipline and fair play. We are able to make travel baseball affordable to the families in our community with the support of our generous sponsors and volunteers.

Our Community

We service the South Baltimore area because we believe there are limited opportunities for children of our target age group. We hope to inspire our children to be responsible citizens and of service to their community.

Our Children

We target children ages 10 to 15 because we believe this is a pivotal time in their lives. Many have aspirations to play high school baseball. However, without the proper development of skills our children might not have the opportunity. Imagine going out for your high school team having not played organized baseball for two years! While our children possess the athletic ability to compete at the “travel” level, most travel teams are cost prohibitive.

Our Organization

We are a non-profit organization made up completely of volunteers from our community. Every penny we receive goes directly to our children. Our only desire is to provide a positive environment for our children. Our focus is on fair play and team disciplines. We teach the fundamentals of baseball and stress the importance of team spirit, sportsmanship, and personal growth.
