Inspire Play Jamboree

The Inspire Play Jamboree, in partnership with Playworks, is a free event taking place on Sunday, June 16 from 9:00am to 11:00am at the Neiman Sports Complex in Bloomington, Minnesota. The Inspire Play Jamboree is designed to teach the importance of "PLAY" during the 2024 Play Ball! Weekend. Through play, children discover the joy of physical activity. They learn the social and emotional skills they will use in the classroom, in the workplace, and in life.

Come and experience the joy and fun of SPORTS! The Twins will be accompanied by Playworks and RBI Baseball. Special appearances from TC Bear and Muddona! Playworks Minnesota and their team of amazing coaches will be setting up and running classic recess games including, jump rope, hopscotch, hula hoops, four square, and tee ball/wiffle ball games for 4-8 year old's.

Jump in and play at any time throughout the event. Playworks is a national non-profit organization that partners with elementary schools across the country to advocate for active social play throughout the school day. The fields will be full of Playworks fun. There will be a smorgasbord of games and of course most importantly...T-Ball! Bring your glove if you have one. If you don't, that's okay, too!

Registration is open so sign up soon to take advantage of this fun and FREE opportunity!
