HANDICAPPED/DISABLED DIRECTORY
KANSAS CITY METRO
A softball league for young men and women with special needs.
Two Ways You Can Help!
Volunteer to serve as a buddy: Buddies are helpers who play side by side with a player. Buddies stick with their player and help them field the ball, run around the bases (pushing the wheelchair, if necessary). If the player needs help batting, the buddy can help them hit off the tee. Just 2 games on a Monday night! Volunteers are required to be there by 6:15 and their help is needed until 8:30.
Donate: T-shirts, trophies, pictures and an end of the year picnic! We want this league to remain FREE to the player and their families.
