The Museum is a classroom for all learners. We link the past to the present through the stories of baseball and Yogi Berra and other individuals who have distinguished themselves through their accomplishments and character.
Through our tours and programs, we emphasize that everyone has the ability to live a long and rewarding life – and even achieve greatness.
Yogi Berra is a shining example of someone who continues to inspire by example.
Our sports-based educational and public programs attract educators, students and intergenerational audiences. Year-round programs include sports camps, seminars that teach lessons in leadership, author discussions, panel discussions on sports and social problems, and a variety of other special workshops.
The YBMLC has enhanced its program offerings to offer the 10 Building Blocks of Learning (as seen on the right).
The Museum’s Coaching Institute also provides coaches, parents and students dynamic workshops related to today’s hot-button issues in youth and scholastic sports. Among the programs available: Developing a Code of Conduct for Athletes and Parents; Team-building Techniques; Captains Workshop; Learning Sportsmanship; and Helping Athletes Reach Peak Performance.
These acclaimed programs are conducted by co-founders John McCarthy, an award-winning teacher and coach, and Dr. Rob Gilbert, a Montclair State professor and one of the world’s leading experts on sports psychology.
Customized team and leadership workshops and the following programs are available at the YBMLC or can be delivered at your school as part of assembly programs. The Museum also offers afterschool enrichment programs and baseball clinics.
