Full Count RBI: Making After School and Summer Count

More About Full Count Nike RBI
Full Count Nike RBI is Friends of Baseball's after school and day camp baseball program that teaches life skills through academic, social and physical recreation. Full Count Nike RBI is an affiliate program of Major League Baseball's Nike RBI (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities) program to increase access to baseball and softball for underserved youth.

Full Count Nike RBI returns the fun of play to the game of baseball. With active and contagious games, kids learn baseball fundamentals while getting the daily activity they require and are coached and taught by instructors who emphasize positive self identity. Full Count Nike RBI's whole child approach also includes base­ball-inspired academic and social activities that span topics like history, science, art, math, literacy, and nutrition. Participants also are taught individual and team goal-setting to help build confidence and foster a growth mindset. Participants receive a Full Count Nike RBI kit that includes a cinch bag, water bottle, tee, hat, wiffle ball, and glove.

We have served youth at 26 school and non profit partner sites in the Portland Metro area and one Seattle area school in an after school and summer enrichment setting. With the generosity of our donors and supporters, at least 4 additional Full Count programs will be opened in Multnomah County's Schools Uniting Neighborhoods (SUN) programs at schools or in school communities that serve a high percentage of historically underserved students (low income students and students of color).
