It’s baseball season, which means we’re filling up on peanuts, Cracker Jacks, and root, root, rooting for the home team. When it comes to transportation to the ballpark to watch the pros, our biggest transportation concern is whether to leave the game early to beat the traffic. However, when your kid’s Little League team needs to travel from city to city, transportation becomes a much bigger issue. Whereas Major League Baseball is a multi-billion dollar industry, youth baseball is often running on a much, much stricter budget. You may not be able to charter a plane, but if you may be able to start a crowdfunding campaign or fundraiser to get a used bus for your local Little League team.
Community benefits of youth baseball
Communities want to support youth baseball and local Little League teams because they have a lot of value for the community. Youth baseball brings parents, teachers, kids, and locals together. Youth baseball is a great way to bring the community together and to become more aware of the people and the city that you live in.
When you organize a Little League team, parents will need to learn about the rules and laws of local government, as well as become involved with local parks. Plus, your team needs to play other teams, so you expand your network to neighboring towns and communities.
Kids also learn to socialize, plus they spend much needed time being physically active, learning how to be a team player, as well as meeting kids from other schools and other districts.
You get all of these community benefits all while enjoying America’s favorite pastime.
Safe transportation for Little League teams
Organizing a Little League team costs money, but with all the benefits that youth baseball provides the community, finding local businesses to sponsor uniforms and celebratory pizza and ice cream aren’t that hard. People love to support a worthy cause.
One of the biggest expenses for a youth baseball team is transportation. Many times, parents choose to carpool, dividing up the team and the equipment and driving in a few separate family cars to the next destination. Organizing a fundraiser or a crowdfunding campaign to buy a team bus is a big task, but it’s worth it. It’s about more than just being able to easily and safely transport the team; there are mental and emotional benefits to traveling as a team.
There’s a huge mental advantage when a team travels together. Baseball is a team sport. and working seamlessly as a team becomes much easier when you’ve spent time together mentally preparing for the next game. Traveling together encourages team unity and spirit.
