The Spring 2024 season was our best yet. Because Baseball Coaching Ambassadors Dustin Ward and Jarrett Parker spent a month in Cairo sharing the joy of baseball with Egyptian girls and boys of all backgrounds and abilities... culminating in the third annual MLB Play Ball Weekend.

A seasoned instructor, Dustin Ward brought a joyful, patient demeanor to his tenure as Because Baseball Coaching Ambassador. Prior to his arrival in Egypt, he starred at Central Arkansas and spent two years in the Orioles minor league system before playing and coaching in Europe.

Our spring season - with its emphasis on fundamentals - was capped by Play Ball Weekend 2024. The two-night event allowed players to learn the art of fielding: catching and throwing. These Egyptian girls and boys impressed coaches and parents alike with their rapid improvement.
