Baseball For Life. Information

Baseball For Life is committed to helping to make a difference in the ball fields in our community. To this point we have been able to impact three middle school programs with the initiative to make their playing conditions more consistent and safe. In 2013 BFL improved the facility at Randolph Middle School with help from players and coaches of Marvin Ridge, Country Day and Providence Day. A year later BFL concentrated on the fields at Albemarle Road and Eastway Middle Schools. Again players and coaches from Providence, Weddington, Marvin Ridge and Country Day along with members of the Baseball For Life leadership program provided the manpower necessary to complete the task. 2015 will provide a new set of challenges for Baseball For Life. BFL is partnering with Northwest Little League to help provide this third year program with their own playing fields. Starting from "scratch" to provide a true home field is an exciting project. Also this year we will be going back to Randolph and Albermarle Road,with the kids in our mentoring program, again on Leadership Weekend, to help prepare those fields for the upcoming season. A final project for this winter will be helping CMS create a field for use by Piedmont Middle School at the site of an abandoned field. Working on fields has given local high school players a chance to roll up their sleeves and make a difference by serving our community in a effort to produce quality playing sites for middle school and youth programs. BFL thanks those players and coaches for giving back in such a positive way! A wish list for items such as bases, dirt.
