The Start

BCMI Sports for Littles was founded  "while the kids were napping" and "after the kids went to bed".

Our founder, Krystal Newman, noticed a refund from a sports program her son was to start. The reason for this refund, "not enough children registered".

Pft, unacceptable. 

Starting on July 1st, 2020 with a Facebook group, Krystal posted about getting Tball  started within the local community. 

Within 14 days, the Tball program was full and practice had started.

After talking with families and looking back on her own past experiences with youth sports in the area, it was decided to make BCMI Sports for Littles more than a Facebook Group.

There is very little in the area of sports for children under 5 (kindergarten) in the Battle Creek area. What is available, is expensive (Battle Creek's poverty rate is 22.6%, 9.5% HIGHER than the national average, {source}). 

Pft, also unacceptable.

Battle Creek youth deserve better. Our families deserve better. We will do better.
