Our Programs
Our Programs
Our active program is associated with Alternative Baseball Organization as a local affiliate in Rochester, NY. While players would need to qualify for ABO to participate in any nationally affiliated events by being at least 15 years old and affected by autism or other special needs, we do welcome (and have) friends and family wanted to play alongside their loved ones as well. Our 2024 program information will be shared shortly. Follow us on Facebook for the latest updates on practice scheduled due to holidays or weather.
How you can help
How you can help
We are currently in seek of sponsors help cover our operating costs and help us to expand our services to the community. Please see our Sponsorship page for more details. We are also seeking volunteers to donate time to assist with efforts in marketing, graphic design, on-field baseball assistance, and build off-season programming targeting our community. We are also looking for opportunities to engage in community outreach and fundraising through "celebrity games" by mixing our players with others to form two teams to play in front of a crowd, and increase our visibility to those that may be interested but not know we exist. Please reach out to rochesteralternativebaseball@gmail.com if you are interested in any of these opportunities.
