Show Notes
All roads in youth baseball and softball development roads converge this weekend in Montgomery, Alabama, for the first-ever Flyball Jubilee. The event is presented by The Players Alliance in partnership with the city of Montgomery.
On this extraordinary episode of the Black Baseball Mixtape podcast, I talk to Players Alliance Executive Director Margarette Purvis and Minority Prospects President (Coach) Reggie Hollins. They talk about the unprecedented effort they have put into this historic weekend of events for Flyball Jubilee. This includes a complete renovation of Paterson Field, which will impact over 3,200 kids for local events and tournaments.
The weekend is jam-packed. It includes an HBCU game, "the Jubilee Classic," between Tuskegee University and Alabama State University. It includes the Players Alliance Community Catch, the Dirty Derby, Focus City Showcase, and Legacy Game, featuring some of the top softball players in the country. The Players Alliance will host a Solutions Summit and Equip the Future events.
Ms. Purvis and Coach Hollins discuss it all (and more) in this episode.
The BBM podcast is in partnership with the Players Alliance, Steelo Sports, Herencia 21, Numbers Game Scorecards, and Rebellion Harvest Sunflower seeds.
