Description: Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board Youth Baseball is geared for recreational play. Our organized leagues teach kids the basic baseball skills, instruct them on the rules of baseball and the importance of teamwork. Baseball is a great sport to develop physical strength, technique, coordination and agility while meeting new friends. Let's play baseball! Youth must have been born between 5/2/012 - 5/1/14 to be eligible for this citywide league. Practices typically begin mid to late April. Check with your local recreation center for specific practice dates and times. League games will be Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. League games will have MPRB certified officials. No invitational tournament will be offered for this age division. MPRB's partnership with the Minnesota Twins and the Twins Community Fund Since 1993, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board has been partnering with the Minnesota Twins and Minnesota Twins Community Fund to bring youth baseball and softball to children who would otherwise not have the opportunity or the funds to enjoy America's past-time. The support from the Twins Community Fund provides uniforms and equipment to participants as well as funding for baseball and softball field renovations. Each season, the Minnesota Twins RBI and Rookie League programs involve more than 2,500 boys and girls between the ages of 8-18.
