Girls Baseball
Girls Baseball is a series of development programs for girls ages 6-13 who want to learn to play baseball - no experience necessary. The goal is to develop and improve a baseball skill-set while giving athletes an opportunity to grow and develop in a fun, all-girls setting.
In 2023, Baseball Manitoba will be offering a Spring Program in May and June, along with Summer Camps in July. These events will be led by members of our Female Provincial Teams and will include: T-Shirts, Progress Reports, and Skill Training!
Spring Program
