The Baseball Federation of Kenya is still under going through the teething problems, in all areas of development. The lack of Baseball equipment is a major issue because the Federation does not have a continuous supply of these much required tools. Training of Coaches, Umpires and Scorers has been a big concern since the Africa Baseball and Softball Association (ABSA) does not have a continental body that takes care of Training aspects. The Federation relies on some individuals who visit Kenya once in a while, to carry out some coaching/umpiring training programs. MISSION STATEMENT
