I've recognized that baseball is a sporting opportunity that isn't being offered to the youth in our community for the 10U and 12U age groups. This petition aims to fill that gap.

Having personal significance and profound belief in the importance of physical activity amongst our children, the absence of a local baseball league for these age groups is disconcerting. This overlooked market is not only about the sports competition but about getting children active and making our community stronger.

Baseball is more than just a game - it's about learning team spirit, discipline, and the joy of the sport. According to statistics published by the Sports & Fitness Industry Association (SFIA), over 15.9 million people participated in outdoor baseball in the United States in 2019. This shows a promising interest and engagement that we can mirror in our community.

By offering a baseball league for our 10U and 12U youth, the town can provide vital opportunities for children to become active, engage with their peers, and develop essential team-building skills.

We therefore request the town to consider hosting a baseball league for our 10U and 12U youth. Please join us by signing this petition and making an impact on our children's lives. Not only will they play, they will learn, develop and have fun in the process.
