YBA PLAY is the Washington Nationals Youth Baseball Academy's largest program. YBA PLAY is a high-quality, structured, consistent, and fun developmental baseball/softball opportunity. Typically, YBA PLAY offers year-round baseball clinics each MONDAY at Nats Academy (from 6-7:45pm) but is highlighted by a free, instructional league during the summer months at five different locations, in Wards 4-8. YBA PLAY is focused on growing the game of baseball by minimizing barriers to participation, particularly for low-income communities; YBA PLAY is FREE and provides ALL uniform and equipment needs. YBA PLAY is for girls and boys ages 5-12.  By using modified rules, YBA PLAY is able to make the game more accessible to new players and fun by promoting a faster pace of play, while rewarding effort over skill. YBA PLAY offers open enrollment through this registration link: www.ybaplay.com
