In 2015, the Nationals launched Team UP a substantial, multi-faceted program with a mission to provide resources and programs that supports youth baseball and softball. Team UP provides at no cost uniforms, player visits, gameday experiences, recognition opportunities and recruiting assistance for its member leagues. In conjunction with Inova Health system, the program expanded in 2017 and 2018 within Northern Virginia and again into Maryland in 2020.
By providing uniforms at no cost, the Nationals goal is to break down financial barriers for families and reduce cost commitments for leagues. The additional experiences – player visits, tickets, gameday experiences – are a robust part of the program as Team UP cultivates the passion of young fans for the game of baseball.
Team UP supports youth baseball organizations all across the DC Metro area. For a complete list please refer to the TeamUp site Here
