By playing a part in the success of Alternative Baseball and its impact on teens and adults with disabilities, you are helping us raise awareness for the true capabilities and the attempt to defy negative stigmas. You are helping us in the attempt to create future leaders in our athletes to reach beyond their potential in life! The purpose of volunteering in an Alternative Baseball(r) program is to instill life skills, teamwork skills, and values of character, integrity through lessons learned in the authentic baseball experience to prepare athletes with disabilities for success in life off the baseball diamond. Alternative Baseball was founded by a young man on the autism spectrum who was often denied opportunities from participating in competitive sports growing up. Assistant coaches can help with team practices and games. Please fill out the "Volunteer" form here in order to receive the schedule: https://www.alternativebaseball.org/volunteer
