Buddy Baseball
This past Saturday was our first buddy baseball game. We sponsored a team that were almost all kids that treat at the office. These kids need social exposure as well as involvement in mainstream type games as a therapy and as for social integration . I always say that none of this happens in a bubble. The kids got a chance to participate in a non competitive atmosphere and have all the positive reinforcement that they could get. The smiles on the kids and parents faces were great. The sense of accomplishment was great. For some it was a bit overwhelming but I am sure as the weeks go on it will get easier. We sponsored a team but the real credit goes to Russ Oberbroecking for putting it all together. For more information about something great to do in your city go to www.buddybaseball.org
