About this Course

Let’s run the bases! This spring, multisport will once again be offered as baseball. Funded by Jays Care, the program teaches children on the autism spectrum fundamental baseball skills, such as running, throwing, catching, and hitting in a safe and supportive environment. The program will be delivered indoors welcome up to 15 participants per session, supported by 5 staff and up to 7 volunteers. Sessions will focus on group activities to facilitate increased social interaction. This team-based learning model and reduced staffing ratio align with Challenger Baseball, a community program that is also supported by Jays Care. By mirroring this format, CAN baseball offers a valuable ‘bridging’ opportunity for participants to practice skills before transitioning to programs outside of CAN.
