Spring Baseball team for students with intellectual or developmental disabilities

Students with intellectual and or developmental disabilities are invited to participate on a spring baseball team. To sign up contact Annalisa Hughes or Vicki Entrekin at 706-844-2952. Coach Annalisa has set sign up/practice day scheduled Friday, March 30th at 6:00 p.m. at the tee ball field at the Trion Rec. Games will be every Friday in April. There will have a more complete calendar available on signup day.

The baseball team is open to all ages and provides a platform for students dealing with developmental disabilities to enjoy their community on every level including sports and recreation.

“We would love cheerleaders in the stands! I think people should stop using the phrase “special needs”. They need security, acceptance and love. These guys needs are just like everyone else; they just might be harder to come by. They also need to have fun and if anyone wants to be a volunteer they will get much more than they give,” organizer Vicki Entrekin said.

Casie Bryant is the NW Georgia Regional Manager for AllOnGeorgia.
