A new adaptive baseball program will take the field this month at the historic Douglas Park in Rock Island.
Rock Island Parks and Recreation will now offer the All-Play Baseball League for children and adults with physical or intellectual challenges in the Quad Cities, according to a news release. The new program will be held on Saturdays, Sept. 16-Oct. 7.
“Our adaptive baseball program creates an inclusive and supportive environment for children and adults with diverse abilities,” said Pete Peña, sports recreation manager, in the release. “Through baseball, we can promote physical fitness, teamwork and a sense of belonging for all participants.”
Registration is $20, which includes a team jersey. Participants may register in age groups including ages 4-11 or 11 and older. Program Assistance Funds through the Park Foundation are available for those who need financial help.
