DITR (Diamonds in the Rough) empowers African youth through baseball by providing training, equipment, and mentorship—helping them grow as athletes and individuals, on and off the field.
Our Training Camps bring the joy and skill of baseball to young athletes across Africa. From city fields to rural communities, we’ve partnered with local coaches and organizations to host high-energy clinics that teach the fundamentals, foster teamwork, and build confidence on and off the field.
Whether it’s a one-day clinic or a week-long camp, every event we fund gives players access to:
Personalized Coaching – Hands-on guidance from professional players and certified coaches.
Game-Focused Drills – Practice that mirrors real-game challenges for faster skill growth.
Live Scrimmages – Exciting, structured matches that bring lessons to life.
Team-Building Activities – Building leadership, sportsmanship, and unity.
Our training camps give young athletes across Africa the opportunity to learn, grow, and shine — regardless of background or resources. With the help of supporters like you, we’ve funded baseball and athletic clinics in communities that need them most, equipping players with the skills, confidence, and experiences to thrive both on and off the field.
From Cape Town to Nairobi, these camps bring together passionate coaches, talented players, and excited communities. Each session blends technical training, team-building, and mentorship, creating lasting impact long after the final whistle.
What We Provide:
Expert Coaching – Learn from experienced trainers and former professional players.
Skills Development – Focused drills, scrimmages, and position-specific training.
Community Connection – Events that unite players, families, and fans.
Essential Support – Meals, gear, and access to safe playing facilities.
Why It Matters:
For many of these athletes, our camps are more than just sports — they’re a gateway to opportunity, discipline, and belonging. Your support ensures we can continue to grow these programs and reach more young players every year.
You can directly sponsor a training camp or clinic in Africa. Every contribution goes toward coaching, equipment, meals, travel, and facility costs — making it possible for more youth to participate.
