Patronage 2026
We bring the world's best to Solingen — for over 500 kids.
Three days that shape the next generation of European baseball — not just better players, better young people.
Kids & youth from across Europe
Personal 12-month development plan, per child
MLB pros, coaches & health/mental specialists
Net proceeds to youth nonprofits
More than sport. Responsibility in action.
The purpose of the European Baseball Winter Meeting isn't the stage — it's what reaches the young players. Over 500 children and teenagers from across Europe are coached for three days, not only in technique, but in healthy nutrition, mental strength, sports-medicine responsibility, discipline and teamwork.
Every child leaves with a professional evaluation and a personal 12-month development plan — a roadmap they can keep working with, long after the event.
Not better baseball players. Better young people.
What patronage actually builds.
Every child, individually
Player Clinic, Report Card and a personal 12-month development plan — real, measurable individual development for each young player.
The whole person
Sports medicine, performance nutrition, mental performance and arm care — teaching the right habits, not just mechanics.
Development is the point
Net proceeds support youth-empowerment organizations: Simba's Helping Hands, the Bam Bam Foundation, and LatinaStrong.
Where your brand belongs
Your company stands for more than its products — it stands for the people and communities it serves. The EBWM puts that conviction on the field: hundreds of young Europeans learning from the best in the world, in your region. A platform where your values are not stated, but lived.
Your brand in this company.
The EBWM is hosted by the Solingen Alligators, under the patronage of the Mayor of Solingen, and driven by a coalition of leading baseball organizations. As a patron, you stand visibly in this line.
