East Side Youth Baseball & Softball aspires to be an outstanding youth organization providing a positive experience and opportunity to grow and develop for all participants. This experience is built on the core values of respect, effort, and fun.

Participants at East Side should expect to:

• Show respect and demonstrate sportsmanship towards their teammates, coaches, opponents, officials, parents, and league volunteers at all times
• Put in a high level of effort to practice new baseball and softball skills learned while embracing a growth mindset in which errors and strikeouts are an opportunity to learn and not something to be feared
• Have fun learning while making new friends and celebrating improvement and achievements

East Side is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located on the east side of South Bend, founded to provide children ages 4-18 a safe and enriching place to play baseball and softball. East Side is affiliated with Babe Ruth/Cal Ripken for both Baseball and Softball.
