FAA Baseball
The Finneytown Athletic Association (FAA) Baseball League is dedicated to teaching the fundamentals of baseball while fostering sportsmanship, teamwork, and a lifelong love for the game in a fun, supportive, and competitive environment.
FAA Baseball participates in several age-appropriate leagues that support this mission, including Finneytown’s Junior Wildcat Tee Ball League, the Reds Little Sluggers League, and the North Region Knothole League. We also hope to develop a girls softball league in the near future to further encourage youth athletics throughout our community.
FAA Baseball is open to boys and girls ages 3–9, with boys eligible to continue participation through age 15. Participants must reside within Springfield Township or currently attend Finneytown Schools. Special eligibility considerations may be granted, including for players who have previously participated in FAA sports programs. All player eligibility and team roster assignments are determined in accordance with league policies and FAA baseball program directors.
Paul Kramer 1937 - 2020
Along with a career and wonderful family legacy, Paul selflessly dedicated his time for over 50 years promoting baseball for local area youth including the Dixie Area Knothole Baseball League, the Greater Cincinnati Knothole Baseball Association. Paul had served on the Kid Glove Committee in affiliation with the Cincinnati Reds for over 50 years raising funds for baseball equipment for local baseball and softball teams. Paul has two baseball fields named in his honor: Paul Kramer Field at Schmidt Field Complex on Eastern Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio and Paul Kramer Field at St. Henry High School in Erlanger, Kentucky.
As the long-time Kid Glove program director, Paul's actions made it possible for tens of thousands of kids to play ball including those in our own Finneytown community.
The Finneytown Athletic Association will honor Paul Kramer's legacy by adding a "PK" patch to our baseball and softball uniforms for the 2021 season.
Who we are
The FAA is a non-profit organization focused on promoting youth athletics including, but not limited to, baseball, basketball, cheerleading, football, soccer, and softball for all youth who reside or attend school within the boundaries of the Finneytown Local School District and nearby communities.
