Two players on opposite teams high-five after the second game of Buddy Ball on Saturday October 20 at the Eastmonte baseball fields. “Good game” high-fives and fist-bumps are a commonality at many sports games including Buddy Ball and are used to promote sportsmanship.

The 2018 Brantley Buddy Ball volunteers from Interact Club pose for a picture at the end of both games on Saturday October 20 at the Eastmonte baseball fields. “It’s the most positive atmosphere that I’ve ever been to,” english teacher and Interact Club sponsor Kent Kersten said. “Everyone’s on the same page, everybody’s there to really help the kids out and just enjoy them.”

Central Florida Bambino Buddy Ball is a non profit baseball program that brings together kids who have special needs ages 5-20. They regularly have volunteers come to the games in order to help the players around the bases and bat. Twice a year Interact Club, sponsored by English teacher Kent Kersten, teams up with the Buddy Ball program play a friendly game of baseball. This year’s Buddy Ball took place at the Eastmonte Park  baseball field from 8:45-11 on Saturday, October 20. Many Brantley students participated, making it lots of fun for everyone involved and earning them volunteer hours.
