Miami Marlins MLB Youth Academy

Marlins Nike RBI

Marlins Nike RBI is an invitational sports-based youth program designed to promote interest in baseball, softball, academic achievement, and social responsibility in underserved areas of South Florida.

The program offers free, instructional and competitive summer baseball & fastpitch softball for youth ages 13-18. 32 practices that all focus on the advanced elements of Baseball/Softball, along with structured game play of a high level, all contribute to making our Marlins Nike RBI program a gateway for aspiring athletes to reach the upper echelons of the game.

All participants are provided with practice shirts, hats, gameday attire, and enjoy a fun, competitive summer league. In addition, athletes get to participate in clinics hosted by Marlins players and alumni. Participants can also take part in our Marlins Nike RBI Winter Development Clinics at the Marlins Youth Academy at Babcock Park, an on-field recognition ceremony during RBI Night, and have access to scholarship opportunities. Through Marlins Nike RBI, participants can apply for the RBI Legacy Scholarship ($2,500) and National RBI for RBI Scholarship Recipients ($20,000).

Amongst the Marlins Nike RBI Program, 45 top-notch athletes have the opportunity to be selected to compete in the prestigious three day Southeast Regional Tournament, held at a to-be-determined location in Florida presented by Nike. Our all-star teams compete against other MLB Nike RBI Clubs in hopes of winning the Regional Title and advancing to the MLB Nike RBI World Series, held at the Jackie Robinson Training Complex in Vero Beach, Florida.
