Youth Baseball and Softball

Started in 2015, the Washington Nationals began supporting local youth baseball and softball organizations with Nationals branded uniform tops and caps as an effort to help lower the barrier of entry into the game. Since then, the program has grown to support over 15,000 youth yearly, continuing its mission of reducing costs for leagues and families, additionally growing its reach to provide coaches resources, game day experiences, and more, creating a holistic program.

The Champions Day series is a Washington Nationals program that recognizes area high school and youth baseball and softball teams that have won championship titles. Eligible participating teams are able to receive free tickets to a scheduled Nationals game, participate in on-field pregame ceremony, and receive custom Nationals giveaway items!

In partnership with DCIAA, the Washington Nationals support participating high school and middle school baseball and softball teams with in season events designed to elevate their experience around the game.

For over a decade, Nationals Academy has served over 6,000 D.C. youth across a continuum of free programs designed to foster their positive character development, academic achievement, and improved health. Using baseball and softball, the Academy serves as a vehicle to help youth excel both on and off the field.

Major League Baseball provides all athletes of the game with the opportunity to compete in free skills competitions right in their own community with a pathway to compete at the World Series!
