Programs that develop the whole kid
All six programs are being planned for the coming season. Clinics, tutoring, leadership and community service are free to families; one-on-one coaching is supported by a donation to DITR. Together they pair professional-level coaching with academics, leadership and service.
Quick answer: DITR has six programs, all being planned for the coming season: free baseball and softball clinics for all ages, K–5 reading and math tutoring, youth leadership training, community service projects, an American Samoa student-athlete pathway, and one-on-one player development for high school, college and pro players, which is supported by a donation. Families can join the update list with one form.

How our programs fit together

In the classroom
Tutoring and study skills build strong grades and the confidence to aim for college.
In the community
Leadership training and service turn good teammates into people who lift up their families and neighborhoods.
