Big Willow Baseball

Big Willow Baseball Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide a fun recreational baseball program for players between the ages of 5 and 12 in the Minnetonka / Hopkins area. Players of all skill levels are welcome, and will be encouraged to develop a love of baseball through quality instruction that emphasizes friendship, teamwork, good sportsmanship, respect for self and others, development of baseball skills and strategies, and family Involvement. Every player is given an equal opportunity to play and learn in a healthy environment. Big Willow makes baseball fun. Games are played at beautiful Big Willow Park, just west of the intersection of Minnetonka Boulevard and Hopkins Crossroads.
