WPB Mission
baseball as the vehicle to reinforce these attributes. Wanna Play Baseball (WPB) is a non-profit organization devoted to instilling character and sportsmanship in children by using baseball as the vehicle to reinforce these attributes. Children involved in WPB are afforded the opportunity to strengthen their baseball skills in all areas, including fielding, base running, hitting, pitching and catching. WPB coaches are dedicated to not only improving players’ skills on the field, but also to encouraging sportsmanship and behavior that will help these children to become valuable members of their communities. It is the goal of the WPB organization to offer positive role models to our players while providing them with a safe and fun atmosphere to improve their baseball skills. Although the major part of the WPB program is designed to provide players with the baseball experience, all coaches and children involved must exhibit exemplary sportsmanship. We believe that this serves to prepare children for their adult lives by developing positive character traits like commitment, honesty, and respect for others that they will then promote as they grow towards adulthood. In order to reinforce these goals, WPB requires of all of its players to commit a set amount of time to community service. Each player will be asked to devote time to serve the needs of others. WPB will organize team and/or league service events, and players can also choose their own ways to give back to their communities. Whether it’s volunteering at a local pet shelter or spending a day cleaning up area parks, it is mandatory that each and every WPB player devote time to this endeavor. WPB also offers partial and full scholarships to players who are invited to become part of the organization but whose families cannot afford the costs associated with team participation.* This allows for promising athletes to receive all of the benefits of being a WPB player, regardless of ability to pay. *Scholarships are provided at the discretion of WPB and as funding is available. www.cantondizzydean.net |
