The Beavercreek Sox is a select youth sports program designed to promote competitive youth baseball participation. The age of participants in the program this year ranges from 10 to 18. The organization was founded in 1993 in response to the identified need for a Beavercreek community hosted competitive baseball program to be made available for the spring and summer season. Ultimately, this program would serve to enhance and promote baseball within the community and assist in the development of players for the local junior and senior high school teams within the Beavercreek Local School District.
The Beavercreek Sox is a non-profit 501c (3) charitable organization (TIN # 31-1371166) managed by dedicated adult volunteers who share the commitment and mission of the SOX program. All coaches and program volunteers focus on teaching proper fundamentals in the context of competitive play, while striving to optimally develop the skills of each and every team member. All coaches are required to receive NYSCA certification.
The Beavercreek Sox has a governing board which meets on a monthly basis to conduct business related to club finances, equipment and supplies, field maintenance, fund-raising programs, and additional issues as identified by concerned members. Coaches and parent members are encouraged to attend and provide input. The organization works in cooperation with the Parks and Recreation Department to meet these objectives.
The Beavercreek Sox host their games in Rotary Park on Fields #9 and #10 located in the northeast corner of the park. Within the context of ACME and Midwest Ohio Baseball league play and tournaments, the Sox teams travel throughout the Miami Valley during the playing season which runs mid-April through July for ages 10 - 14, and mid-May through August for the 15 - 18 age groups.
In conjunction with the City of Beavercreek and the Township, the Beavercreek Sox help maintain and upgrade the Rotary Park baseball facilities.
