About the Sluggers

The Scramble.

The Fort Greene Sluggers are a brand-new, drop-in baseball club for Brooklyn kids. Not a league. Not travel ball. Just neighborhood kids meeting up once a week to learn America's pastime — together.

Picture a Saturday in 1989: a boombox in the dugout, parents cheering from the fence, a six-year-old trying their first swing. That's the energy. We rotate through kid-friendly drills, run a light scrimmage, and call it a day in 90 minutes flat.

Your kid doesn't need experience. They don't need gear (besides a mitt). They just need to show up. Bats, balls, and a Sluggers hat are on us.

Who's it for?

Kids ages 5–10 is our sweet spot. Got a scrappy 4-year-old? Bring 'em. Older kid who wants in? Talk to us. Grown-ups stay to cheer (or help coach).
