Howdy NBBA Family,
As we continue the season of gratitude, it is my pleasure to share this presidential report with our community. Thanks to the dedication of our membership, our sport has truly become relevant year-round. Happy Holidays to all!
There’s no off-season in beep baseball!
This October, our community came together for two fantastic events. A big thank you to the Tyler Tigers for hosting another successful Texas Shootout, which raised awareness for cancer, blindness, and adaptive sports. We also salute a unique collaboration for the Third All-Stars of Beepball Event in San Antonio, brought to life by the Texas Adaptive Play Initiative, Minds Eye Radio, New View Oklahoma, David Benney, Darnell Booker, and friends. If you haven’t already, check out the photos and streams from October on our Facebook page—don’t forget to like, comment, and share!

A Season of Giving
The spirit of giving has been strong this year! We raised over $1,500 during this giving season, thanks to everyone who contributed to our Giving Tuesday campaign and my birthday fundraiser. I encourage everyone to include the NBBA in your social media birthday fundraisers. If you need support, please reach out to the NBBA Pr team at pr@nbba.org
As a reminder, beep baseball is a tax-deductible nonprofit, and donations are easy to make at

Looking Ahead to 2025
We’re off to an exciting start in the new year:
● On January 25, the Austin Blackhawks will host a friendly scrimmage featuring the Indy Edge and Bayou City Heat—I’m calling it the Three Amigos Beepball Scramble.
● In March, weather permitting, we hope to showcase beep baseball in Saint Charles during our board meeting weekend.
● We’ll close out Q1 with the 2nd Annual Viva Las Beep Baseball Invitational, highlighting two teams of female athletes. This tournament is made possible thanks to the SoCal Beep Baseball Association and Mindseye Radio.
Be sure to follow our social media pages for updates, photos, and livestreams from these exciting events!
