Beyond
the Game
A baseball and cultural immersion experience built around the game — and everything that happens around it.
The game is where it begins.
Baseball is woven into everyday life in the Dominican Republic. But this experience isn't only about playing it.
It's about the people you meet, the young players you spend time with, and the meals, conversations, neighborhoods, and shared experiences that help you understand the place beyond the field.
Baseball creates the connection. The experience grows from there.
Play
Train, compete, and share the field with Dominican players and coaches while experiencing baseball as part of everyday life in the Dominican Republic.
Connect
Spend meaningful time with young athletes, coaches, families, and community partners through clinics, shared meals, and experiences beyond the field.
Reflect
Take time throughout the week to process the experience, talk as a group, and reflect on leadership, culture, community, and perspective.
What the week can include.
Baseball
Training sessions, games, local fields, and time alongside Dominican players and coaches.
Youth Clinics
Opportunities to coach, mentor, play, and build relationships with younger athletes.
Culture
Food, neighborhoods, traditions, and experiences that offer a closer look at everyday Dominican life.
Adventure
