This year, 215 children registered for participation in the baseball program which is now in its 73rd year as a Town of Kearny Recreation program. Local businesses and organizations are sponsoring 18 teams consisting of 7 little league teams, 5 minor league teams, and 6 tee-ball teams, for children ages 4 through 12 and grades Pre-K through 8th. Parents and players joined Mayor Santos, volunteer coaches and program coordinators to kick off the baseball season. The Kearny Recreation Commission honored coaches Peter Nalbach and Joe Halpin and thanked the Kearny Recreation Department, coaches, sponsors and the Little League executive board, including Tom Witt for their dedication to the baseball program in Kearny.
The Town of Kearny extends its gratitude to all the local businesses for their contributions and support of the Town’s recreation programs.
