The Midlakes Babe Ruth Baseball (MBRB) is a private,
non-profit organization that provides spring and summer athletic
programs for boys and girls in the Phelps – Clifton Springs area. MBRB
(or its predecessors) has been around for almost 50 years. MBRB baseball
is a coed, recreational program designed for beginners, “veterans” and
all skill levels in between. Unlike many competitive-minded programs,
our child-centered approach emphasizes sportsmanship and fun over
winning and statistics. In short, our games are competitive but our
coaches and players are not. MBRB baseball players learn the game the
right way, without coaches and parents pushing too hard, and without the
fear of failure sapping their enjoyment of the game. We want them to
develop their skills in a setting that makes them want to play baseball
year after year. At the same time, they should learn sportsmanship and
team play make some new friends and have an enjoyable spring and summer.
Our approach also centers upon the family experience, where the entire
family can get involved as coaches, helpers, treat providers, etc., and
can also enjoy spring and summer evenings with friends and neighbors
watching the kids have fun.

In keeping with that philosophy, “the MBRB way” to coach is to create
a positive, supportive environment that lets everyone participate and
succeed to the best of their individual abilities. We think every kid in
the program should be given equal and fair attention.
