Special Needs Adaptive T-Ball and Coach Pitch

Join us for another season of T-ball and coach pitch. We are a unique sports league that encourages children with any physical and/or mental disabilities to play the great game of baseball. Participants (ages 5-22) from Utah County and the surrounding areas are invited to play. They play on smaller fields and each child is assisted by a "buddy" (peer friend from the community). One of the greatest things about this league is that it is adaptable to each individual's specific needs. The games have a slower pace and everyone scores and wins! All games will be played in Mapleton City. The cost is only $15.00, which includes a shirt and hat.

“What's for Dinner?”

This 6-week class will meet at the Mapleton Community Center (125 W 400 N) on Tuesdays (Mar. 9 – Apr. 13), or Wednesdays (Mar. 10 – Apr. 14) 6:00 – 8:00 pm. This is a great deal at $85, which includes cost of ingredients. Just bring your favorite knife! Classes are limited to 8 students each.
