​The Bambino-Buddy Ball Division is a program for special needs children ages 5-20 who want to enjoy the full benefits of playing baseball in an athletic environment structured to their abilities.
 
The Buddy Ball Division was originally developed to provide boys and girls with special needs the opportunity to experience the emotional development and the fun of playing baseball.  Today, more than 30,000 players participate nationwide in a Buddy Ball type of league.  This program enables children the opportunity to participate in a structured athletic program regardless of their ability.
​

Babe Ruth League believes that every child should have the opportunity to participate in baseball or softball. The Bambino Buddy-Ball League helps to make that dream a reality for physically and/or mentally challenged ballplayers. With the help of a special "buddy" to swing a bat, round the bases or catch a ball, ballplayers are able to experience the thrills of the game.

The Bambino Buddy-Ball League is designed to foster confidence and self-esteem, make memories and have fun. An emotionally rewarding experience for all, "buddies" achieve satisfaction from their involvement while the athletes benefit from the opportunity to participate in organized sports, physical fitness, and social events and outings.

There is no cost associated with your child participating in this division.
