Geared toward students in grades K-5:

Begins in late January/Early February and wraps up in late March/Early April.

Each two-week segment corresponds to one base (first, second, third, & home).

Teachers set their own goals for students to go along with each base.

Each school selects a game in May or June as their school’s Family Night at a Dock Spiders Game (based on availability.)

When students reach all four bases, they hit a homerun and are awarded a free ticket for their school’s Family Night at the ballpark. Each student that completes the program and attends their school’s Family Night will also receive a special Dock Spiders baseball hat at the game.

Coordinators will be provided with:

An introduction letter to be sent out to the parents prior to the start of the program.

Baseball related verification aids so parents and teachers can track their students’ goal progress.

Upon completion of the program, coordinators will submit and receive the FREE game ticket for the students and each coordinator in the program will also receive a complimentary ticket.

Family Night

Choose a game date for your school’s Family Night as soon as possible by contacting Dock Spiders Director of Marketing, Nikki Zerjav – nzerjav@dockspiders.com (2026 season schedule should be available in early December.) Reservations are based on availability, so please have a secondary date in mind.

The ENTIRE school is welcome to celebrate on Family Night! Discounted tickets are available for purchase for additional family members and friends at a cost of $12 each.

As the program concludes, give Nikki the final count of students that completed the program at least THREE weeks prior to your game date. Arrangements for ticket pick up can be made through Nikki or the Dock Spiders box office.

Finally, come and enjoy the game!
