ABA Mission & Purpose Statement

The Andover Baseball Association's Mission Statement

The Andover Baseball Association’s mission is to provide an educational, safe, and fun environment for the youth in Andover through playing our national game of baseball while promoting sportsmanship, pride, and community development.

The Andover Baseball Association's Purpose Statement

The purpose of the Andover Baseball Association is to provide an opportunity to participate in the game of baseball for youth regardless of race, creed, color, nationality or disability. It is further the purpose of the Andover Baseball Association to aid youth who participate in this sport:

1) In the improvement and development of baseball skills.

2) To teach and promote physical, mental, and moral development.

3) To teach a sense of fair and honest competition.

4) To promote fair play at all levels resulting in good sportsmanship.

5) To encourage, aid, and support acquisition of facilities and means for the playing of baseball.
 

Our goals include:

·  Improve and add to our existing baseball fields and facilities.

·  Provide safe/protective equipment.

·  Explore new avenues to reduce cost for our participants.

We believe organized baseball is more than the bats, balls, gloves and uniforms. Our organization wants to make available, to our children, the opportunity to learn the aspects of teamwork, the virtues of character, courage, loyalty, the respect for authority. In addition, we strive to promote self discipline that enables our youth to lead our nation tomorrow. Our organization is made up of entirely volunteers, many of whom work year round, to execute the necessary tasks in the interest of our players. We thank all the parents/ guardians and players for all of their support.
