Hamel Athletic Club (Hamel Baseball)

Hamel Athletic Club (Hamel Baseball) was founded in 1926 and has been an active part of the community ever since.   We have grown from 300 kids in 2008 to over 600 kids as of 2021. 

We are affiliated with both Little League International (ages 4-12) and the Metro Baseball League (ages 13+).  We strive to provide youth in the City of Medina and surrounding areas with a quality baseball program that promotes teamwork, self-esteem, and skill development.  Our program stresses the following:

• Fun – we want kids to enjoy coming to baseball practices, games, and to develop a lifelong love for the game.
• Age - appropriate baseball skills – Learning how to play the game the right way (which includes fundamentals as well as strategy).
• Respect – for the game, coaches, teammates, umpires, opponents, and spectators.
• Teamwork and Self-esteem - every player contributes to a team’s success.
• Sportsmanship - learning how to be good winners and losers

Hamel Athletic Club is run by a Board of Directors, all of which are volunteers.  Hamel Athletic Club was granted 501(c)3 status in 2010 by the IRS and is a tax-exempt organization.  The program is primarily funded by player registration fees as well as the generous support of local businesses who provide capital sponsorship as well as team sponsorship funding.
