BCYF Fenway Challenge and the BCYF Sox Talk Baseball Clinics Wind Down Next Week

The BCYF Fenway Challenge and the BCYF Sox Talk Baseball Clinics are winding down next week with the last clinic scheduled for August 20th!  Youth ages 7-14 still have three more changes to work on their baseball skills and have the opportunity to win Red Sox tickets and meet Sox players and coaches.  These are also great opportunities for camps and programs to enjoy a day in the park.

The BCYF Fenway Challenge, sponsored by the Boston Red Sox, is an opportunity for youth to compete against other youth their own age in baseball skills such as base running, pitching and batting.  The participants will be divided into four age groups: 7/8, 9/10, 11/12, and 13/14.  At the end of the Challenge, the scores will be tabulated and the top finisher in each age group will win a pair of Red Sox tickets to a game in September where they will be honored on the field before the start of the game.  Youth can attend one or all Fenway Challenges but can only win the tickets once.  Youth groups and camps are welcome to participate.

The BCYF Fenway Challenge starts at 10:30 a.m.  No equipment is necessary, BCYF will provide equipment for the day. The remaining Fenway Challenge will be held on Friday, August 15 at Iacono Park in Hyde Park.

The BCYF Sox Talk Baseball Clinics, sponsored by the Boston Red Sox and the Boston Police Athletic League, is a series of baseball clinics followed by an appearance by Red Sox players and coaching staff.  Young people will have the chance to work on their baseball skills before the players arrive.  Once the Sox players and staff arrive, they will join the clinic and work with groups of youth on various skills after which they will answer a few questions.  Youth groups and camps are welcome to participate.  The clinics will run from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Remaining Clinics will be held on:

Tuesday, August 19                 Garvey Park in Dorchester

Wednesday, August 20           Ryan Park in Charlestown
