How It All Started

In 2015 Coach Jones realized he had a group of talented athletes who needed to play in bigger areas to compete at their skill level. Then he realized there was limited funds to make that happen. That's when the vision for Fall Ball began. 

​

The first year there were twenty-eight teams who signed up to play at Baker Middle School. By 2019 there were 35 teams ready to play. In 2020 COVID-19 took Fall Ball to a screeching halt, but in 2021 more teams than ever signed up - 38. In 2022 there were 42 teams, and in 2023 it took its largest leap to 52 teams signed up to play. That's when it was time to move to four courts at Baker High School.

Some attributes we care deeply about preserving are: the homemade soups for players and spectators on Friday night, not charging admission for fans (donations only), the 3pt/free throw contest on Saturday, and maintaining a community atmosphere.
