Since we were only beginning, our event was conducted on two small baseball fields near the Boat Basin on West 79th Street. Our goal was to offer NYC children and families access to quality, fun, affordable, and local baseball instruction in the summer months.</p><p style='box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;'>The program was created by our current director, Mike Handell, who was 18 years old at the time. He was a life-long Upper West Side resident who understood the impact that sports have on children. Mike wanted our camp to serve as an extension of the great community sports programs he grew up playing in.</p><p style='box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;'><br></p><p style='box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;'><br></p><p style='box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;'><br></p>
