The Cuban Baseball Federation (FCB) is determined to play hard and without gloves in order to develop and modernize the national pastime as soon as possible, which is clearly in need of renovation.
And without a doubt, the topic is about the strategy to follow from the base of this sport of balls and strikes, so that children grow up with the greatest possible technical-tactical foundations before reaching the senior category, enrolled in the high performance pyramid
Our baseball revival project foresees that each player, from the time they start in the children’s categories, will play 905 more games than in previous projects, until they reach top-level payrolls, explained Juan Reinaldo Pérez Pardo, national baseball commissioner, in a conference of press.
Pérez Pardo added that there is an agreement INDER-MINED (National Institute of Sports, Physical Education and Recreation-Ministry of Education) in which the work of baseball coaches for young people from fourth to 12th grade is combined, which allows them the assistance to the special areas from 2.00 pm
We also advocate for the national production of sports equipment, which will be beneficial for baseball on the base; the people’s councils in each province will be involved in this, said the manager.
For the national commissioner, the issue of rescuing sports facilities is also strategic, and the idea is that each province has at least one small baseball field (beisbolito) with all the conditions for the development of children.
