LET EVERYONE PLAY: During the 1950s and 60s, when other leagues turned girls and minorities away, the Pioneer welcomed them. In fact, one of our core values is, and has always been, for any kid who wants to play the game of baseball, to let them play. Many leagues had set numbers for teams and rosters before the call to register for the season even went out, and when those roster slots were filled, everyone else was turned away. Not at Pioneer! What was true then remains true today.  Any kid who came to Pioneer — and who comes today — was and still is welcome to play.

COACHES: What a privilege it is to coach! One of the core strengths of our leagues are the men and women who volunteer to coach our young players in baseball and in life.

COMMUNITY: Parents and local community members are the backbone of Pioneer. As a solely volunteer run 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, these dedicated individuals work tirelessly to fundraise, engage with local officials, and offer their time, talents, and energy to make Pioneer one of the cornerstone organizations in the greater Alexandria community for over 70 years.
