Since 1982 Kids Against Drugs Baseball League (KAD) has touched the lives of thousands of kids providing them with safe, organized athletic and life skill training.  By giving children in disadvantaged areas the opportunity to play baseball, KAD works to ensure that every boy and girl who participates will have a positive, productive future and develops a life-long relationship with the game.  

    The program is divided into four divisions:  pampers (5-7), peewee (8-10), little league (11-12), junior pony (13-15), pony (15-18).

     In developing KAD we set t o overcome obstacles - such as crime and a lack of funding for uniforms and equipment - that prevented kids in the community form learning and excelling at the game of baseball.  More importantly, we also wanted to use participation in baseball as a means to overcome the academic and social disadvantages faced by most our kids.  

      The result was a program that not only taught solid, fundamental baseball, but promoted academic achievement and social responsibility as a requirement for participation.
