Simple. We try to minimize the cost burden to our families by seeking donations and offsetting monthly dues with various fundraisers throughout the year. All generated funding either goes directly to the players or indirectly toward them in the form of equipment, tournaments, and facilities. Our goal is to one day have a facility or a field of our own.
How transparent is Caliber Baseball?
Caliber Baseball does something unique with its finances; different than any other organization we know. At the end of every season, we send a report to each of our families that shows exactly how much money they have spent on baseball. We believe the expenses you incur should not be a secret.
