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.

Pitchers and Catchers Report

Tomorrow, February 18th is a big day in baseball. If you're a fan of baseball, it's a day that you wait for all winter. From the last pitch of the World Series to this day. You've been waiting. Pitchers and Catchers officially report to Spring Training camps tomorrow! Position players have to be there by the beginning of next week but if you travel around to camps, most are already there. PBATS members, the team's athletic trainers have all been at their spring training sites for at least a week. They've had organizational meetings and they're also making sure the training rooms are ready to go. A lot of treatments are needed at the beginning of Spring Training and they'll all be ready.



With Spring Training starting, this also means that the Community Relations Departments with every team are starting to fill up their event calendars. The PLAY Campaign is being put in all 30 teams calendars this year. We have had many talks with the teams already this week and event dates are starting to come in! We will keep you updated on specific dates as they roll in. Until then, get excited about the smell of freshly cut grass, cleats being laced up, and the popping of baseball mitts. The 2010 Major League Baseball season is here... and we're ready!
