About Us
Beyond Baseball is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that was founded by John Darjean in 2012. He is also the co-founder of the Dallas Baseball Alliance which has been around since 2006. This youth organization was formed to give positive support throughout communities, teach life skills and the proper way to play America's Favorite Past Time.
Our players and parents are highly involved in community outreach from the picking up of litter, cutting our elderly's lawn, to giving food and gifts to the less fortunate in the community. We believe that a strong support group away from home is very important to give the students the right tools of life.
