Who Are we?

Como Ball was founded with one mission — to bring the people of Saint Paul together through the love of America's national pastime. Our journey began as a passionate collective of parents and volunteers who saw the immense value that baseball and softball could bring to the youth of Como Park.

As a 501c3 nonprofit organization, Como Ball represents a grassroots dedication to youth baseball and softball. We strive to create an environment where everyone—regardless of age, ability, race, gender identity, cultural background, or belief—feels included and supported. Guided by our core values, we ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive, fostering skill development, confidence, and character, both on and off the field.
