Introducing Summer Slugger: Using baseball to stop “Summer Slide”

During the summer months, students who don’t practice and test their knowledge can lose critical math and literacy skills. This “summer slide” causes teachers and students to spend valuable time in the fall re-teaching and re-learning the lost material. This summer, the Nationals have partnered with digital learning innovation leader EverFi to offer a remedy with the launch of Summer Slugger.

Participants can benefit from up to 30 hours of fun baseball-themed content that reinforces math and literacy skills. Computer-based, the interactive, gamified program is geared towards students ages 8-11. Summer Slugger is free, and open to individuals, schools and community organizations – students just need to have an adult register them.

Join the Nationals in using baseball to stop the “summer slide” this season—earn points, unlock new levels and receive progress-based rewards throughout the summer.

Signing up is easy:

Thanks to everyone for their help and participation in opening day. In addition to the great looking jerseys our partnership with the Nationals includes additional benefits.

Free Nationals Tickets
Each FCKLL player will receive two free tickets to the Nationals game on July 7. The only cost of the two tickets is wearing your Nationals Little League jersey. Coaches wearing the "Coach" Nationals hat can receive two tickets as well. Tickets will be able to be picked up at Nationals Park starting at 4pm on July 7 with gates opening at 5pm. There will be an opportunity to buy more tickets near the free tickets if needed. Please save the date as we'd love to see several hundred FCKLL kids in the park.  

Nationals Player Visit
We will also be hosting an event with Mason District LL on May 27th at Westgate fields. A Nationals player will visit from 10am - 11am and we plan to make it an fun event for all kids who can make it from both leagues. We will have a challengers game as well as stations and other fun activities for the kids which allow them to interact with the Nationals player.  

Please save these dates.  We will post more information as we have it. And, LET'S GO NATS!
