A small school, a national baseball name.
Jintan Elementary is best known nationally for its student baseball team, founded in 1995, which has drawn many players from disadvantaged and Indigenous families — some traveling from as far as Namasia and Taoyuan Districts in Kaohsiung's mountain areas. The team has competed at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and won multiple national and international titles.
金潭國小以其學生棒球隊聞名全國，該隊創立於民國84年（1995年），隊員多來自弱勢家庭與原住民家庭——部分球員甚至遠從高雄那瑪夏區、桃源區等山地地區而來。球隊曾赴美國賓州威廉波特參加小馬聯盟世界大賽，並多次奪得國內外冠軍。

Many players come from disadvantaged and Indigenous families, some traveling from Namasia and Taoyuan Districts in Kaohsiung's mountain areas to join the team — a striking link between the district's coastal school and the city's mountain communities.

The baseball team's cross-district recruitment of Indigenous mountain-village children reflects Kaohsiung's broader north-south social geography, connecting this small coastal school to communities far from Linyuan. See the Kaohsiung county page for more on the region.
