Metro Parks Elementary Sports Program
The Metro Parks Elementary Sports Program offers after-school sports at all Tacoma elementary schools. The Mariners provide team-branded jerseys and caps for all 2,400 participants in the T-Ball, Coach Pitch, baseball and softball activities.
Since 2018, the Mariners have contributed financial support to the Jack C.
