Description

...

Turkmenistan
For the first time ever, baseball leagues will be formed and two fields will be built in the regions of Dashoguz and Mary of Turkmenistan. Married Peace Corps couple Chris Miller and Sari Long of Plymouth, Minn., working with local community leaders, will oversee the formation of leagues and the construction of the fields and will train approximately 500 boys and girls in the fundamentals of baseball. The goal is to provide Turkmenistan youth the resources to develop, learn and play baseball in a constructive, gender-inclusive and respectful atmosphere. It will also promote team-building, self-esteem, gender equality and community involvement. Baseball Tomorrow Fund grant money will also be used to purchase equipment.

The BTF was a MLB Project.
