Taylor Duncan, founder of Alternative Baseball®
Founder. In 2016, Taylor Duncan founded the Alternative Baseball Organization in Dallas, Georgia. As a child, Duncan was denied opportunities to participate in sports due to his autism, some coaches deeming his disability a safety issue. Duncan said there were fewer opportunities to play baseball the older he got.
Sandison, R. (2024) says that in answer to his interview questions, he was excited to hear the following from Taylor Duncan. “In Alternative Baseball we use baseball to teach our players teamwork with coaches and mentors to ensure a brighter future.”
< My Thoughts > “… a brighter future…”
Many parents and families, while waiting for the world to help them on their 'autism journey' can get started by investigating what may be already available to them in their community.
Alternative Baseball® began as one young man's dream and has grown into a nationwide movement for inclusion and empowerment. This is the story of Taylor Duncan, and how his personal journey led to the creation of an organization that's changing lives and communities across America.
