"Helping kids hit homeruns in life."

The Katie At The Bat Team is an organization dedicated to empowering inner-city girls to achieve their full potential through participation in athletics. Our programs incorporate character development, nutrition, fitness and academic assistance while providing long-term support from coaches and volunteers to help Katie athletes make positive life choices. We provide school-year programs and summer camp opportunities, and promote partnerships which use athletics as a means to bridge urban and suburban communities.

Since its inception in 2006, The Katie Team has worked with well-over 250 inner city youth. Katie staff use athletics to focus on areas of need including healthy lifestyle choices, nutrition, fitness, and academics. The Katie Teams works to keep at-risk youth in school and making positive life decisions. Since its inception, The Katie Team has met with great success and continues to expand and develop programs to achieve organizational goals.

The Katie At The Bat Team utilizes athletic instruction and play as an entre to bring nutrition, fitness, character development, and academic support to inner city girls. The Katie At The Bat Team is particularly proud of its focus on the whole child and its commitment to work with Katie Athletes throughout the academic year, into the summer, and over an extended period of time. It is in this fashion that The Katie Team will have its greatest and most lasting impact with our kids. Katie programs maintain a low adult-to-student ratio since participants face multiple layers of challenges. This ratio allows Katie athletes to have the best chance of breaking out of the poverty cycle. In addition to time spent during the activity period, Katie staff devotes critical time to calling children and parents before and after program sessions, extending the communication between home and program.
