LATLC celebrates a milestone decade of support for the 17th Annual Buddy Ball, continuing a shared mission to provide athletes of all abilities a place to play.
On March 7, 2026, LATLC will host the 10th Annual Buddy Ball Opening Day in Long Beach, honoring a league founded on the belief that every child deserves to experience the joy of the game. By pairing each athlete with a dedicated "Buddy," the program turns the baseball field into a space built on friendship rather than barriers. As LATLC enters this milestone year of sponsorship, it stays committed to supporting local families through the simple yet powerful act of play.
This upcoming milestone is a meaningful reflection on the human stories and the legacy of inclusion that have shaped this league since 2009. For ten consecutive years, the partnership between LATLC and Buddy Ball has offered a steady sanctuary of sport and camaraderie for families across the region. The event will serve as a reminder that consistency and kindness, sustained year after year, are the greatest gifts we can give our community.
"Buddy Ball represents the very heart of our mission, building a community rooted in compassion and the quiet strength of togetherness," says Griselda Rodriguez, trial attorney and 2026 LATLC President. "Watching these athletes grow over the last decade has been a profound gift, and we are honored to stand beside these families for another milestone year."
As LATLC looks toward its next decade of service, its dedication to fostering an inclusive and supportive Los Angeles remains unchanged. This commitment to adaptive athletics is a cornerstone of the organization’s identity; just last week, LATLC was proud to support the Challenger Division at Sunrise Little League in Woodland Hills, further expanding the reach of inclusive sports in the Greater Los Angeles area.
By continuing its 10-year partnership with the 17-year-old Buddy Ball program, LATLC reaffirms its promise to stand by the children and families who inspire the community every day. This anniversary is not just a celebration of a decade of sponsorship, but a commitment to a future where everyone, regardless of ability, is always invited to the field.
About Bambino Buddy Ball
The Bambino Buddy Ball Division was established by Babe Ruth League, Inc. to ensure that the joy of baseball and softball is accessible to every child. Designed for athletes with physical or intellectual disabilities ages 5 and up, the program fosters a supportive environment by pairing players with a "buddy" for on-field assistance. By prioritizing community and inclusion over competition, Buddy Ball empowers athletes of all abilities to build confidence and lasting friendships through the spirit of the game.
