Our Program
The Irish Green Sox is a nationwide youth baseball organization. We emphasize a team-oriented approach to the game that treats baseball and everyone involved in it, from teammates and coaches to umpires and parents, with respect.
We value sportsmanship and respect for the game of baseball. We exhibit our values through our words, actions, and service to the community.
We use the Matheny Manifesto as a way to get parents, players and coaches on the same page about how to approach the game and what it means to all of us.
Irish Cultural Connection
The Irish Green Sox program is, first and foremost, an organization focused on player development through great coaching. The Green Sox also offer a cultural component, thanks to strong ties to the Irish American community.
The Green Sox program is supported, in part, by the Irish American Baseball Society (IABS). The IABS provides support and guidance, thanks to a panel of college and professional players and coaches who advise and guide the program.
Green Sox players and their families receive free membership to the Irish American Baseball Society. As members of the IABS, they can take advantage of many cultural opportunities, including free Irish language classes and more.
Our Players
Players in the Green Sox program want to improve as players, teammates, students, and citizens. Players do not need to have Irish roots to join the program.
Our Coaches
Our staff consists of high school, college, and professional coaches. Our coaches love the game and want to prepare each player for the next level, whatever that level may be. We focus our teaching on three core areas: fundamentals, Baseball IQ, and player development.
Partner Programs
We are always interested in partnering with youth baseball organizations, teams, and coaches, who share our vision.
