A group of youths wait for their turn to bat Wednesday during a game of "Quickball" at the Boys and Girls Clubs of Hall County. Several members of the Gainesville Police Department joined in the game with the group.
Wednesday evening marked the continuation of the “Badges for Baseball” program at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Hall County at 1 Positive Place. The program is a collaboration between the clubs and the Gainesville Police Department, and sponsored by the Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation. Jashad Dabney, 9, who participated in the program both years, summed up the program like this: “The policemen come to teach us about baseball and how to make good choices.”
