We are always encouraging our youth baseball players to practice their craft. Whether it be during the season or the off-season, keeping up with their skills is imperative. Oftentimes it’s not easy finding creative and fun ways to do so. That’s where you could come in.

Ripken Baseball Hosts Coaches and Youth From Iraq

Posted by ripkenbaseball on Friday, May 14th, 2010

As summer is quickly approaching, Ripken Baseball is gearing up for some great events. One of our favorite things to do during the summer is work with coaches and youth players from around the world to improve their baseball game.

This week, we were fortunate to have the opportunity to share the game we love with a group of coaches and youth players from Iraq. On Wednesday, Ripken Baseball met with fifteen Iraqis out at Ripken Stadium and mentored them through the game of baseball. We taught them the correct way to catch a ball, throw a ball and hit a ball. At the end of the day, we even played a small baseball game where youth baseball players took on Ripken Baseball!

While all of our camps and clinics are incredible experiences, I must say this was one of our favorites. Playing the game with a group of people who love it so much is exactly what Ripken Baseball stands for. We were honored to host a group of eager learners at Ripken Baseball, and look forward to doing it again soon.
