The Irish American Baseball Society (IABS) is sending experienced American baseball coaches to work with young baseball players in Ireland and Northern Ireland. This initiative is part of IABS's ongoing partnership with Emerald Diamond International (EDI), which has developed the Irish Youth Baseball program. The program focuses on growing the game of baseball in Ireland, through school-based introductory programs, as well as collaborations with youth baseball and rounders clubs.

As part of the Irish Youth Baseball program, American coaches will work directly with clubs, schools, and local coaches, sharing their expertise and passion for the game. These coaching exchanges not only help develop the skills of young players but also enhance the training capabilities of local coaches, ensuring that baseball can continue to thrive in Ireland for years to come.

To participate in the program, American coaches are required to commit to fundraising for their trips. The funds raised cover essential travel expenses and contribute to providing equipment, uniforms, and other resources to the partner clubs.

The fundraising aspect of the program plays a critical role in sustaining its growth and impact. It ensures that the American coaches can travel to Ireland to make a tangible difference while also supporting the long-term success of youth baseball clubs throughout the country. Through these efforts, the IABS and EDI are making a lasting impact on the future of baseball in Ireland, helping the sport gain a stronger foothold and opening new opportunities for young athletes to thrive in a global baseball community.
