Why East Coast Sox?

The East Coast Sox Baseball Organization is an incredible organization to be a part of. More specifically, this organization helps our youth mature physically, mentally, and most importantly spiritually through the great game of baseball. Everyone involved including administrators, coaches, speakers, etc. strives to get the best out of our youth and instill in our youth a winning attitude not only on the field but in life as well. The fellowship amongst parents, players, coaches, and administrators is special and is something I look forward to every year. Others that I speak with in relation to the East Coast Sox Baseball Organization all say great things and many coaches that I speak with that have former East Coast Sox players all brag about the type of young man that player is.
