As of those of you who have been involved in Southborough Youth Baseball likely know, each year the the 12 year old team attends a special training camp in Cooperstown, NY. This year, organizers are promoting a special fundraiser to help cover the cost.
The event is on March 27th at USA Ninja Challenge’s Marlborough location. It’s an indoor obstacle course for ages 4-17 that appears to be inspired by the reality show American Ninja Warriors.
Their website describes it as combining “basic skill sets from gymnastics, climbing, cross training, and track and field”.
Families can sign kids up for a one hour time slot (first come, first served) for $30 per child. Times are listed as 11:00 am – 12:00 pm or 1:00 – 2:00 pm.
To reserve a time, participants must email marlborough@usaninjachallenge.com. (To complete the registration, click here to pay and here to sign a waiver.)
Those who are unable to participate can still support the cause through the team’s gofundme page:
Heading to Cooperstown All-Star Village, the Birthplace of Baseball, is a dream come true for any Little League player! Historically in Southborough, the 12-year-olds team has had the opportunity to experience the Cooperstown tournament camp with the exception of the summers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. They grew as players, as a team, and made memories they will always remember.
Our team is now 12 and has the chance to go but we need your help to raise money to offset the cost of the team training program and transportation! Anything you can do to help is very much appreciated!
