The PLAY Campaign

PLAY, Promoting a Lifetime of Activity for Youth, is a campaign of the Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Society in conjunction with the Taylor Hooton Foundation. The PLAY Campaign is designed to promote awareness for healthy and active living among America's youth. The Taylor Hooton Foundation brings the component of educating about the dangers of Performance Enhancing Drugs (PED's). The PLAY Campaign travels to all 30 Major League Baseball stadiums and teaches these important messages to thousands of children. This blog will follow the campaign around the country and post pictures from the events and interviews from people directly involved.

The first couple events are scheduled

As Spring Training is starting, we're starting to get dates for the 2010 PLAY Campaign. These events take place in all 30 MLB stadiums throughout the summer with PBATS members, strength and conditioning coordinators, and some of your favorite ballplayers. We have a couple dates already. One is locked in stone and a couple others are tentative.

First one that is locked in: Tampa Bay Rays hosted by Ron Porterfield, Paul Harker, and Nick Paparesta will be held August 17th.



Other events that are tentatively scheduled:
Milwaukee Brewers - July 26th
Cleveland Indians - June 30th
Texas Rangers - May 22nd

Still waiting for confirmation on these but stayed tuned as more PLAY Campaigns are scheduled.
