Everybody Wins!

Thanks to all of the families who joined us at last Friday's Bingo Night. Whether your Bear brought home a new toy, some slime, or one of our other fun prizes, we hope you had a good time at our Free Family Fun Night. Special thanks to the Margist and George families, as well as all of our BGS alumni "callers", who hosted the evening!

Bradley Gardens Little Loop Baseball Registration

Is your son or daughter looking to learn the FUNdamentals of baseball this Spring in a positive and relaxed environment? Consider Bridgewater's original baseball program, Bradley Gardens Little Loop! Celebrating its 62nd year, the Bradley Gardens Little Loop baseball program emphasizes teamwork and sportsmanship and provides quality baseball instruction to every child who participates in the league regardless of skill level.


The Little Loop season runs from approximately April 2020 through June 2020, and is open to all boys and girls between the ages of 4 ½ and 12, regardless of their experience level. Players are placed into one of four divisions based on their age as of May 1, 2020. From beginners to more advanced players, all are welcome to play. Unlike other leagues, the Little Loop does not require parents to post work bonds before their children can participate in the league. We are an all-volunteer program and a non-profit organization. Our focus is on providing your child with the best baseball experience possible at an affordable price.


Registration forms can be obtained by visiting http://www.bradleygardensbaseball.com/ Sponsors, Managers, and Coaches are always wanted. Questions about the league? Send us an e-mail at bgllbaseball@gmail.com.
