COACHING STAFF
Our coaching staff are baseball players, community members, and volunteers who show up every week because they believe in these kids. Many of our coaches have played in the IAB Premier League or on the Israeli national team. All of them share one priority: the players.
Want to coach or volunteer? Help the next generation build skills and confidence through baseball. Contact Eli Rutenberg at betshemeshbaseball@gmail.com to discuss how you can get involved.
