Full Count RBI afterschool SUN Enrichment Classes are starting this month at schools and Community Centers in Portland and Gresham. Serving elementary and middle school students, the Full Count RBI curriculum provides a fun "first exposure" to baseball/softball skills, plenty of active play, and opportunities for positive social engagement - delivered by caring, supportive coach/mentors. Our Halloween Distributions and Community Events coming up this fall will help foster family youth and youth in communities in and outside the Portland Metro area. Youth receive baseball-themed Halloween goodie bags to brighten the fall holiday season. Stay tuned for more information coming soon.
