WHAT IS KID2PRO SPORTS?    

Kid2Pro Sports is an organization that makes fantasy become reality for boys and girls by playing baseball and softball of all skill levels at professional stadiums with all the trimmings of a "Pro" game. Our venues include various Professional Minor League parks in New York and New Jersey. Plans include expansion to Pennsylvania and Delaware.  

The organization offers a variety of programs for players of all skill levels, from beginners to experienced athletes.

Kid2Pro Sports events are typically one-day experiences that include a game, batting cages, and other activities. Players get to dress in full uniforms, use professional equipment, and walk out onto the field and play on that field like the pros.

K2P is a great way for kids to experience the thrill of playing in a professional stadium. It is also a great way to develop their baseball or softball skills.

Here are some of the benefits of participating in Kid2Pro Sports:

• Play in a professional minor league stadium

• Use professional equipment

• Dress in full uniforms

• Get coached by the coaches they already know and are comfortable with

• Develop your baseball or softball skills

• Experience the thrill of playing in front of a crowd

Kid2Pro Sports is a great opportunity for kids of all skill levels to have a fun and memorable baseball or softball experience.

K2P is staffed by professional Event Coordinators, Teachers, Minor League Umpires, Coaches, First Responders, and Interns.

 

WHAT AGE AND TALENT LEVEL IS KID2PRO SPORTS GEARED TOWARDS? 

Our experiences are for all skill levels for boys and girls ages 8 through 18. Over the years, 100's of Town, Rec., Travel, and School Teams have participated in a Kid2Pro Sports event.  
This is a single game “Experience,” not a “Tournament setting”.   "A-Plus" teams are always welcome and must bring their opponent to ensure competitive balance.

 

WHAT FIELD SIZES ARE AVAILABLE?

Baseball and softball infield sizes are modified according to sport, age group, and skill level.  Fields range from 60/90 (Pro Size) to 50/70 to 46/60 to softball sizes accordingly. For smaller than pro-sized fields, a portable mound and bases are used to accommodate all pre-teen levels.  Upon registering, please state your age, skill level, and desired field size.
