Ball kids are an integral part of the Dayton Flyers. UD Athletics and Gem City Tire have partnered to provide opportunities for local kids to enjoy this experience.

Kids 3rd through 8th grade can sign up to be a Gem City Tire Ball Kid at any Dayton Men's Basketball game this season.

Space is limited and will be granted on a first come first serve basis.

Being a Gem City Tire Ball Kid entails having the opportunity to be on the court during pre-game warm ups, retrieve unused basketballs, high five the team, introduced to the crowd prior to the start of the game, and be on the court for the introduction of the starters and the National Anthem.

The Gem City Tire Ball Kids will be admitted to the game for free and be given seats to watch the game, however parents will need to purchase tickets through the University of Dayton ProSource Ticket Office.

Anybody interested in signing up their child to be a Gem City Tire Ball Kid should email Tim Doyle at tdoyle1@udayton.edu. Please include your name, your child(s) name, and your top 3 options for games.
