DC Grays RBI Partners With The St. James on Fall Ball, Offseason Training

In an effort to provide kids in the District with top-notch baseball instruction throughout the year, the DC Grays RBI youth baseball/softball program has entered into a hew partnership with the St. James – a state of the art sports facility in Northern Virginia.

For a steeply discounted fee, high-school age DC Grays RBI baseball players will be able to participate in the following activities at the St. James:

• Play on a fall ball team in the Northern Virginia Travel Baseball League
• Participate in weekly practices at The Hitting House, the St. James’ indoor baseball facility
• Participate in weekly strength and conditioning workouts with St. James strength training staff

DC Grays RBI coaches Brad Burris and Antonio Scott will help coach the St. James fall team in NVTBL, and will help run the weekly practices, along with St. James baseball director and former Baltimore Orioles outfielder LJ Hoes.

DC Grays RBI is part of MLB’s Reviving Baseball in Inner cities (RBI) program.  The program is run by DC Grays Baseball, an all-volunteer non-profit organization that also runs the DC Grays summer college team in the Cal Ripken Collegiate Baseball League.

“This will be a game-changer for the kids in our program,” said Brad Burris.  “To play against good competition in the fall and get professional instruction all off-season will make all of them better players for their school teams in the spring and for our RBI schedule in the summer.  We are thrilled about this partnership.”
