LEAGUES&
PROGRAMS
With the increased costs of participation in the game of baseball (equipment, training fees, and travel ball), many local area recreation programs and advanced play opportunities have been negatively affected. To combat those costs and increase participation, we have partnered with Major League Baseball's RBI (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities) program, stepping up to the plate to organize and support programs that provide play opportunities to any youth that desires.
Specifically, we have designed three "leagues" that take place three times a year: Spring, Summer, and Fall. For more information on each league scroll down to read more.

Executive Director, Jarrod Simmons, at Jarrod@WalkOffCharities.com.
SPRING, SUMMER, FALL BASEBALL FOR All!
SPRING LEAGUE
Walk Off Baseball Association (WOBA) will operate FREE recreation baseball programs for ages 4-12 years at Bragan Baseball Complex. This league will tie into the Walk Off Jax RBI Spring League that is played across 17 different parks throughout Jacksonville, most of which are located on the northside, westside, and southside of town. Those park programs are run by other youth associations that Walk Off helps support with uniforms, equipment, training, coaching, and umpires, but all are a part of the larger league.
This league will be chartered through Cal Ripken Baseball (a division of Babe Ruth League).

FALL DEVELOPMENTAL
As great as spring and summer ball is for a player's development, often times it is more focused on playing games instead of working on fundamentals, skill development, and on game knowledge (baseball IQ). The WALK OFF JAX RBI DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE is designed to do just that. Our focus will not be on playing games (and by consequence winning/losing) but on creating an environment where players can learn and develop their skills to improve their gameplay for future seasons. Our desire is to have two divisions of this: youth (ages 6-12 years old) and high school (13-18 years old). The program will be about eight (8) weeks from mid-September to mid-November.
All participants will receive:
