The Play Catch Movement exists to improve the welfare of children and the quality of life for adults through the game of catch. National Play Catch Week is always the third full week in June and includes Father's Day every year. It is a great time to enjoy the green grass, summer sun, and have fun playing catch. However, the Play Catch Movement is more than one week out of the year. We encourage everyone to play catch every day. The results, like some of the play catch stories featured on our website, can be life-changing. The Play Catch Movement can be implemented in schools, youth groups, organizations, companies and even elder care. We believe that George Bernard Shaw said it best, “We do not stop playing (catch) because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing (catch).” Maybe he had catch in mind when he made such a profound statement; either way, playing catch can help everyone, from young children to seniors. The Play Catch Movement is created to help encourage, inspire, and motivate everyone to never grow old.

More recently, the Play Catch Movement has partnered with Nokona American Ballgloves (www.nokona.com ), a company with a rich heritage in America’s pastime, that shares the common values of community, personal connections, and – of course – baseball! Nokona is supporting the Play Catch Movement to encourage people to get out and play, and to help spread the word about the experiences of connection, confidence, and joy that are all part of playing catch.
