The City of Waterloo Leisure Services, in collaboration with the US Conference of Mayors and the National Baseball Leagues will host a Play Ball clinic for youth in Waterloo. The Play Ball initiative is baseball’s collective effort to encourage young people and communities to engage in baseball- or softball-related activities, including formal leagues, special events and casual forms of play. These events often coincide with key dates on the MLB’s calendar.
Waterloo’s Play Ball clinic will take place on Thursday, August 11, from 3:00pm – 4:30pm, at the Cedar Valley SportsPlex. This is the same evening as the Field of Dreams baseball event in Iowa. Youth ages 6-10 years are encouraged to attend. No registration is required. The first 30 participants will receive a free tee-shirt. All equipment is provided.
Leisure staff and West High School athletes will guide players through fun challenges to help introduce the basic concepts of the game. The session will culminate with everyone participating in a game of Whiffle Ball.
“Waterloo has outstanding baseball and softball programs which attract players from across the Cedar Valley,” says Mayor Quentin Hart.
