Welcome to Como Ball Youth Baseball & Softball Association, where we nurture the love of America's pastime in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Our journey began as a passionate collective of parents and volunteers who saw the immense value that baseball and softball could bring to the youth of Como Park. Embarking on our inaugural year as an officially incorporated nonprofit 501c3 in 2024, Como Ball represents a grassroots dedication to youth baseball and softball. We are a testament to the transformative power of sports, deeply rooted in our commitment to fostering growth, community, and the love of the game.
Our Mission
We are on a mission to enrich the lives of youth athletes living in and around the Como Park neighborhood by nurturing a love for baseball and softball. We'll provide an inclusive and dynamic environment where they can learn, play, and grow.
At Como Ball, we come together from all backgrounds and walks of life to strengthen our community through the joy of youth sports. We strive to create an environment where everyone—regardless of age, ability, race, gender identity, cultural background, or belief—feels included and supported. Guided by our core values, we ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive, fostering skill development, confidence, and character, both on and off the field.
