KAUKAUNA YOUTH BASEBALL MISSION STATEMENT

Kaukauna Youth Baseball aspires to be an outstanding educational-athletic organization that provides a high-quality experience in which every athlete:

  • is coached using principles that promote teamwork and physical well-being
  • has fun playing the game
  • feels like they are an important part of the team regardless of performance on the field
  • learns "life-lessons" that have value beyond the field
  • learns the skills, tactics and strategies of the game and improves as a player

We are committed to creating a culture in which coaches, parents, fans, umpires and athletes work together to achieve our mission.

Founded in 1979 by John Lambie, Kaukauna Youth Baseball was organized to give children ages 9-12 living in Kaukauna and surrounding communities a league of their own.  Today, the program serves nearly 700 youth ages 5 to 18, playing over 450 games per year.

Just A Little Boy Poem

He stands at the plate with heart pounding fast.
The bases are loaded; the die has been cast.
Mom and Dad cannot help him, he stands all alone.
A hit at this moment would send the team home.
The ball meets the plate; he swings and he misses.
There’s a groan from the crowd, with some boos and some hisses.
A thoughtless voice cries; “Strike out the bum.”
The tears fill his eyes; the game’s no longer fun.
So open your heart and give him a break.
For it’s moments like this, a man you can make.
Keep this in mind when you hear someone forget.
He’s just a little boy and not a man… yet.
