The Castle Hill Little League Buddy Ball Program is a shining example of what youth sports are meant to be - welcoming, empowering, and accessible to all. As a FREE adaptive and inclusive baseball program, Buddy Ball is thoughtfully designed for children with intellectual disabilities, including those on the autism spectrum, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to step onto the field and experience the joy, excitement, and sense of belonging that baseball brings.

At its core, the Castle Hill Little League Buddy Ball Program is about more than just the game - it is about building confidence, fostering friendships, and creating meaningful moments for every participant. With the help of our amazing volunteers - our dedicated “buddies” - each player receives one-on-one support, allowing them to grow at their own pace while building confidence, developing fundamental skills, and most importantly - having fun. These meaningful connections create a supportive environment where every achievement, big or small, is celebrated.
