About Washington Township Baseball and Softball (WTBBSB)

We are a volunteer organization serving the Washington Township community since 1956.

Our Board consists of members who reside in town with kids of our own in the program.

We offer a Recreational and Travel Baseball program under the Little League charter and a Recreational and Travel Softball program through local softball leagues.  Our Recreational and Travel programs are available during the Spring and Summer.

Program Goals

Providing the opportunity for our children to participate at their own level in order to help them develop:

• Physically - Learning and improving their athletic skills and physical condition while avoiding injury
   
• Psychologically - Learning to control their emotions and develop positive feelings of self worth
   
• Socially - Learning the importance of teamwork, sportsmanship and observance of the rules

In competition, we strive to succeed at a task to the best of our ability and learn to handle success as well as failure. The process of competing and working towards maximum potential is the main focus of our attention.

Winning and Losing

Winning is a component of competition, not the essence of it. The essence of competition is the process of competing and all that it entails. We have the responsibility to educate coaches, parents and most importantly, our children about the true meaning of winning and losing. Competition is not a measure of self worth. It is simply a way to measure our present abilities and efforts against the abilities and efforts of others. Increased self-esteem is one of the primary positive benefits of sports. Competitive situations should be viewed as an area where we can have a positive effect building character traits such as confidence, poise, self-control, self-esteem, discipline and the value of setting goals and striving to achieve them. Winning cannot be a goal in itself. However, all the components of competing can be goals we achieve in order to win.

When winning becomes the only goal, competition turns into conflict.

Sports are competitive - Wars are conflicts!
