Sponsorship Opportunities
Dover Baseball is a non-profit organization that was formed in 2002 from the merger of Dover Minor League, Dover Northside Cal Ripken, and Dover Babe Ruth. The league was formed with the goal of building a quality baseball program to allow children to play baseball from the age of 4 to the age of 15.
A major factor in the success of Dover Baseball has been the support of the local business community. It is the generosity of our sponsors that has allowed Dover Baseball to provide a fun and competitive baseball program for over 600 children and teenagers each year.
As we enter our 10th year of baseball operations, we are asking for your support by becoming a sponsor for the 2012 baseball season
