Scholarships

Cost is not a reason a kid sits out.

The scholarship fund covers registration, gear and travel for families who cannot. It is quiet by design — a team never learns which of its players it covered.

What the fund covers

Every season, families tell us they want their kid to play and cannot make the numbers work. Sometimes it is the registration. More often it is the glove, the cleats, the fee for a tournament three hours away, and the gas to get there.

We do not means-test with paperwork and we do not make anyone explain themselves in front of other parents. A coach, a board member, or a parent asks, and it gets handled.

Registration fees for either program
Gloves, cleats, bats and protective gear
Uniforms and team apparel
Tournament fees and travel costs

If your family needs help

Talk to your coach, or write to us. It stays between you and whoever handles it.

If you want to fund a season

This is the ask most people say yes to, because it is the most concrete thing you can do here: one donation puts one specific kid on a field.
