USA Baseball launches 'Fun at Bat at home' edition

The At Home version modifies the curriculum of the entry-level bat and ball programme into fun, easy activities for young athletes and their families to participate in while at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

USA Baseball announced the launch of the Fun At Bat At Home programme as part of Major League Baseball's Play Ball At Home campaign.

Fun At Bat is an entry-level bat and ball programme for kids with an emphasis on character development, functional movement, active play and fun. It is free for schools and school districts to adopt. The At Home version modifies the curriculum into fun, easy activities for young athletes and their families to participate in while at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

To help launch the program, USA Baseball will be highlighting an “Activity of the Day” with an instructional video to accompany each segment of the guide book. Instructional videos and more can be found online at FunAtBat.org and on USA Baseball’s social media channels.

"We are pleased to provide parents and young athletes the resources to learn the game of baseball and pursue a healthy lifestyle during this unprecedented time through the Fun At Bat At Home initiative,” said USA Baseball Director of Youth Programs Tyler Collins. "This addition to the core Fun At Bat program will give children the opportunity to continue to be physically active while using minimal equipment within the confines of their own home.”
