“Redbird Rookies is more than just a game!”
Established by Cardinals Care in 2004, Redbird Rookies is a youth development program that uses baseball and softball as its foundation to create meaningful opportunities for children ages 5–13. Serving approximately 2,000 youth annually across the region through its traditional leagues and affiliate programs, Redbird Rookies provides baseball and softball opportunities at no cost to families. Through on-field skill development and off-field enrichment focused on health, education, cultural arts, mentorship, and scholarships, the program helps participants build confidence, teamwork, integrity, and leadership skills that extend beyond the game.
