Monday nights are magical at the Tuckaseegee Dream Fields in west Charlotte.

"I love Monday nights," Demetria White, a coach for Carolinas Metro Reds, said.

Carolinas Metro Reds makes baseball affordable for underserved and disadvantaged children from ages 4 to 18. T-ball teams hit the diamond at 6 p.m. Mondays, but the lessons go far beyond the field.

"We take care of the whole kid and their family," White said. "And if there is a need, we can meet some kind of way."

The program also has tutoring and literacy workshops, as well as ACT and SAT study sessions.

"Like in school, there's always something to learn, there's always something to learn in baseball," Isaiah Carter, a seventh-grade student, said. "You never have everything right the first time. You always have something to work on."
