FREE Summer Baseball

 

We are offering a free and fun summer instructional baseball league for boys and girls ages 6-12. The summer league will be in the evenings between June 28th-August 5th.

While Nats Academy is our host site in Ward 7, our Ward 8 site (just a few minutes from your school) will be at Oxon Run (900 Mississippi Avenue SE, Washington DC).  We are eager for DC youth—and Patterson students — to safely get back out on the fields to play, exercise, and be with their peers.
