‏‏‎MLB Youth Programs

The Jackie Robinson Training Complex is the proud home of MLB's Nike RBI World Regional Tournament and the Nike RBI World Series. The program not only encourages participation in baseball and expands the pool of talented prospects, but it more importantly provides young people with a positive, team-oriented activity that challenges them mentally and physically. Leagues also motivate participants to stay in school and pursue post-secondary education.

The Jackie Robinson Training Complex is also a partner of the local Vero Beach RBI program, providing fields, meeting spaces and access to all JRTC youth baseball tournaments.

The Jackie Robinson Training Complex is home to the Hank Aaron Invitational, a unique amateur development event that aims to get high school-age players with diverse backgrounds to the next levels of the game. Approximately 250 players (ages 13-18) from across the United States receive elite-level training from former Major League players and coaches. The players also receive presentations on college eligibility and other information necessary for advancement in the collegiate and professional levels of the sport.

The Jackie Robinson Training Complex proudly hosts MLB's Elite Development Invitational, a highly intense program that mirrors the USA Softball Women's National team's training camps. The program gives players an opportunity to see what life is like as they prepare for International Competitions and the Olympics. The invitational's third week hosts 90 softball players to participate in the softball-focused EDI, which includes staff introductions, seminars, special guest speakers, and specialized coaching instruction to players pursuing collegiate careers.

The Baseball, Softball, and Girls Baseball Breakthrough Series is a joint effort on behalf of USA Baseball and Major League Baseball, focusing on developing the player on and off the field through seminars, mentorship, gameplay, scout evaluations, video coverage, and the highest level of instruction, all while providing a platform for the players to perform for scouts and collegiate coaches. The events are completely cost-free with USAB covering expenses for the players.
