The Missouri Padres 8U, 9U & 11U teams kicked off the season in style Saturday night at D-Bat for the annual Padres Season Kickoff event.
Players were divided into six teams and rotated through a variety of competitions, including hitting, bunting, fielding, pitching, speed and agility challenges — plus a baseball trivia quiz to test their knowledge of the game. Prizes were awarded to the winners, but more importantly, the night was filled with energy, competition, and plenty of fun as the boys officially welcomed the 2026 season.
Next up, the 14U and 11U squads are less than two weeks away from Opening Day, when both teams will travel to Northwest Arkansas to begin their spring schedule.
Baseball, we are glad you’re back.
Go Padres!!
