The Alternative Baseball Organization, an authentic baseball experience for teens 15+ and adults with autism and other disabilities, has begun virtual recruitment.
Commissioner and director Taylor Duncan is looking to build a team in Cincinnati, for the Spring/Summer 2021 season.
The program follows Major League rules (wood bats, base stealing, dropped third strike, etc.) and is described as a typical team experience for others on the autism spectrum and special needs to help develop social skills later in life. Teams will travel to other areas and play on traditional high school size fields. The organization provides equipment and resources to help such a program become successful.
To get the program up and running, volunteer coaches, managers and players are needed. Players of all experience levels are welcome.
“We take them from where they start out at (whether they require to be pitched to slow overhand or hit off the tee), and help develop their physical and social skills,” said Duncan.
