Who We Are
Our founder, Vice President, & Coach, launched this organization, as a parent who has a young adult with a disability.
“We see firsthand the toll it takes on him when it comes to entertainment and socialization. In school, he was able to socialize with others like him & interact with others that do not have special needs. When school was over at the end of the day, he did not have anywhere to go. Others within the school were in sports & could get together without needing accommodations. My son would come home & only have his family. He wanted to be accepted and be able to play sports, but he was not given that opportunity.
Once he graduated, there was nowhere for him to go. His friends went off to college and he was left behind. Sadly, that feeling is endemic to the physically or intellectually disadvantaged & there are a lot of children & adults in this situation. They just want to be accepted & enjoy complete lives. This is the reason why this organization was created. We do not want anyone to be left out, & baseball and bowling are both great ways to make sure that does not happen. Everyone wants to feel accepted and be able to go through life just like others do.”
