The Los Angeles Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) League is a youth baseball and softball program offered to youngsters 10-18 years of age.  Over 2000 kids participated in the league during the 2005 season. 

RBI gives kids the opportunity to play in an organized league in addition to learning life skills in a prevention program.  It is a partnership of the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks, Santa Monica College, and Boys & Girls Clubs of America.  RBI has two special partners in Major League Baseball and the Los Angeles Dodgers. 

On the field, RBI concentrates on fundamentals and teamwork, while stressing citizenship and academics.  Off the field, RBI players are taught Quick Smart (Skills Mastery And Resistance Training).  This nationally acclaimed Boys & Girls Club prevention program designed specifically for RBI assists kids in learning how to make smart choices regarding alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use. 

Major funding for RBI has been provided by Major League Baseball, the Amateur Athletic Foundation of Los Angeles, Ralphs Food 4 Less Foundation, Lagraphico, Inc., the Garth Brooks Touch ‘Em All Foundation, former Los Angeles Dodgers’ pitcher Kevin Brown, and other foundations that support youth athletics.  The Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks in collaboration with RBI oversees the Los Angeles Junior League Program.
