About our Foundation

The team is affiliated with Athletes HQ in Elgin, IL and is made up of twelve 10u players from the surrounding area.

The Dugout Foundation is a nonprofit youth baseball organization dedicated to helping young athletes develop their skills, sportsmanship, and character - on and off the field. Our mission is to provide equitable access to competitive baseball for all families, regardless of financial background. Through clinics, camps, tournaments, and outreach events, we create opportunities for youth to thrive - offering more than just a game, but a path to confidence, teamwork, and community.
