The Breakthrough Series (BTS) provides a cost-free showcase for participants and is an instructional setting where some of the top prospects showcase their skills for scouts and college recruiters, all while receiving several industry insight seminars from current, former players and executives. The event serves many inner-city youth, but also focuses on showcasing the top African-American players in the country, dispelling the recent sentiment the game is dwindling within the demographic. Going forward, BTS has been expanded to include softball and girls baseball. The Softball Elite Development Invitational (EDI) is provided to approximately 90 high school softball players (18 and under) with diverse backgrounds, and is a one-week program geared toward providing elite training and instruction opportunities from former Olympians and members of the USA Softball National Team. Players are selected by a combination of the following groups: MLB Youth Academy network, Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) program, Major League Baseball, and individual active and former players. 4961823 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true X 0 0 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false X 10 10 false false true false true true true true true false false false true true true false false false false false DE FL NY X DIANA BRAVERMAN 2129317800 1271 AVEUNE OF THE AMERICAS NEW YORK NY 10020 X X Jean Batrus executive director 1.0 0.0 X 250213 0 533 Leonor Colon Co-Chair/Co-President 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Chris Marinak Co-Chair/Co-President 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Jeff Fannell VP/assistant treasurer 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Tony Reagins VP/assistant secretary 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 xavier james Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Dave Winfield Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 john mchale Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Paul Mifsud vice president 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 JEFFREY HAMMONDS VICE PRESIDENT 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 KIM NG DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 dan halem Co-Chair/Co-Pres. thru 3/31/19 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 bo porter director, thru 4/03/19 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Kasey Sanossian assistant treasurer 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 DIANA BRAVERMAN TREASURER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER BRUMM SECRETARY 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 julia gaffin assistant secretary 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 250213 0 533 0 false true true Positive Coaching Alliance 1001 N Rengstorff Ave 100 MOUNTAIN VIEW CA 94043 coaching Services 267007 1 1898320 1898320 0 212577 212577 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 PLAYER FINES 900099 55850 55850 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 900099 5500 5500 61350 2172247 55850 218077 2815030 2815030 0 0 0 250745 250745 0 108062 108062 0 206 206 11404 11404 0 5092 5092 28556 28556 0 0 0 302007 302007 0 0 0 0 0 595650 595650 0 0 0 0 0 0 PROFESSIONAL FEES 420835 420835 PLAYER APPEARANCES 380000 380000 FIELD MAINT.
