Clay-Platte Baseball League: League Information
The Clay-Platte Baseball League is a non-profit, 501 C 3 organization, dedicated to the purpose of guiding the character and development of its participants, ages 4 through 18 within an atmosphere of strength, endurance, ability and skills through instruction and guidance in the basic fundamentals of baseball. All of these elements are objectives to be strived for within a program teaching sportsmanship, teamwork, dedication and friendship both on and off the playing field.
Clay Platte Baseball offers four programs to achieve these standards. The first three divisions; T ball, Coach Pitch and Machine Pitch, ages 4 through 8 are designed to teach youngsters the basic fundamental skills of baseball including hitting, throwing, fielding, base running etc. The goal is to build a foundation of sportsmanship, proper practice habits and self-respect. Players in these divisions are to be given an opportunity to receive equal playing time in order to help in their development. The objective is not on winning or losing but to achieve these goals.
The Competitive division of our program ages 8 thru 18 offers an advanced level of play in a slightly different participation format, which will help the players be successful in team and individual play while maintaining sportsmanship and self respect goals. We require our managers, coaches and parents to maintain a code of ethics that sets an example for the standards set above in all programs.
Only with the unselfish help and dedication of our coaches, parents, players and board members will this League continue to be successful. We are committed to providing the best possible program available but we can only do this with your help and cooperation. Please dont wait to be asked to do something - VOLUNTEER.
Our playing locations are: Clay-Platte Sports Complex 2600 NW 100th Street, Kansas City, MO 64154; Pleasant Valley Park 5401 NE Pleasant Valley Road, Kansas City, MO 64119 and Line Creek Park, 5700 NW Waukomis Drive, Kansas City, MO 64151.
