MILWAUKEE -- With school children around the country homebound due to COVID-19, registration is open early for the Brewers Summer Slugger program, a free interactive online course that uses baseball to help children, ages 8-11, maintain their math and literacy skills away from the classroom. Developed to combat summer learning loss during vacation months, this digital tool is even more relevant for students now at home due to school closures.

Students earn points, unlock levels and receive progress-based rewards throughout the summer.
