field restoration program
Baseball For Life seeks out opportunities to improve the playing conditions on baseball/softball fields throughout the Charlotte area. We feel it is important that kids participating in athletics play on safe fields. BFL provides technical support and manpower to make facility improvements. Since Baseball For Life’s inception, our organization has raised the field standard for two start up little league associations, four middle schools and three high schools.
