Diamond Dreams Scholarship Nomination

One of the top rea­sons that kids do not play base­ball or soft­ball is due to financial ineligibility. Friends of Base­ball is revers­ing this trend in Ore­gon and SW Wash­ing­ton by pro­vid­ing a safety net to boys and girls who want to play ball through our Diamond Dreams scholarship program.

Full Count RBI Academy

Full Count RBI Academy is Friends of Baseball's new after school and day summer enrichment program that teaches life skills through academic, social and physical recreation. With active and contagious games, kids learn baseball fundamentals while getting the daily activity they require and are coached and taught by instructors who emphasize positive self identity.

Coaches Clinic

Each year in late winter (typically February), Friends of Baseball hosts a subsidized clinic for volunteer youth baseball and softball coaches. Leagues pay a nominal rate for the entire league and can send as many coaches as they want. The Coach Jerry Gatto “I Believe” Coach of the Year Award is honored annually at this event after a nomination from area community leagues and committee selection process.
