In South Africa, Play Global trains young players and coaches in the Eastern Cape province. In and around the communities of East London and Mdantsane, Play Global introduces the game to children and trains coaches and PE teachers to lead ongoing baseball instruction.
Play Global has been working in the Eastern Cape since 2017. Our focus is reaching at-risk kids, giving them a chance to learn teamwork and belong to a team.
"As I walked around town, people would stop me to say hello and share how they hoped that having baseball programs would help with crime issues, giving the kids a positive outlet and goals they'd be excited to work toward. It made sense that being part of a team could keep kids out of trouble." - Kevin Healy, Play Global coach
Local connections through the Eagles Baseball Club and Billy Magengelele Baseball Revival Programme make this work possible.
