Red Sox/Fenway Challenge
Come to East Boston on July 26
Get Individual Hitting And Pitching Tips From Sox Players And
Coaches
Mayor Thomas M. Menino and Boston Centers for Youth & Families (BCYF)
invite Boston youth to meet players and coaches from the Boston Red
Sox organization and compete in a baseball skills session at the
annual Red Sox Talks/Fenway Challenge on Tuesday, July 26th at East
Boston Stadium in East Boston.
Hosted by Boston Centers for Youth & Families in conjunction with
the Boston Parks Department, the Sox Talks/Fenway Challenges are
sponsored by the Boston Red Sox and the Boston Police Activities
League. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. followed by the Fenway
Challenge, a skills competition in running, hitting and throwing for
boys and girls ages 7-14. At the completion of the Fenway Challenge
around 12:30 p.m., members of the Red Sox organization will arrive
and work one-on-one with each young person on their batting and
pitching skills. It’s always a surprise who will show up, but there
are usually several players, members of the coaching staff and
others.
The winners of each Fenway Challenge competition will receive two
tickets to a Red Sox game in September and will be recognized on the
field before the game. Camps and summer programs are welcome to
attend. Please contact mike.devlin@cityofbostongov to reserve a
spot.
