Two fundraisers are coming up that will give the community an opportunity to show support for the Watsonville Dubz 12U travel baseball team.
The Watsonville Dubz 12U travel team was started in 2025
On March 28, the team will be hosting a golf fundraiser at Springs Hills Golf Course. Four-man teams will compete in a scramble tournament with raffles, and local businesses providing food and drinks along the way. And this month, On Feb. 20, The Dubz will host a Bingo Night at Straw Hat Pizza from 6 to 9 p.m.
Dubz coach Ruben Abrego said the community has been very supportive of the team, helping with car washes, donated food, equipment and more. Abrego and other parents started the team in 2025 with one goal: to provide local youth the chance to play competitive baseball at the highest level while teaching values of teamwork, dedication, and sportsmanship.
“We started as just a group of volunteer Little League coaches that wanted to get together in the summer and get the kids ready for the next Little League season,” Abrego said.
Little League is more than just a pastime, said Abrego. It can be an important part of growing up. It can help them build confidence, build character, teach them to be responsible to others, and how to encourage others on the team.
“As coaches, we know this translates into who they become as an adult,” he said. “To see the joy on the kids faces and all the hard work they’ve been doing is very rewarding. We want them to grow in, not only their game, but their life.”
The cost for the golf tournament is $150 per person. For more information or to sign up, contact Fred Martinez at (831) 566-2911.
