Cincinnati Reds Youth Academy

The Reds Community Fund (RCF) is dedicated to improving the lives of youth by leveraging the tradition of the Cincinnati Reds and the game of baseball. Since its inception in 2001, the Community Fund has been dedicated to improving the lives of youth through its baseball-themed outreach efforts. The P&G Cincinnati MLB Youth Academy offers free, year-round baseball and softball training facility for boys and girls ages 4-18 residing primarily in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky urban neighborhoods.

The Reds Community Fund and USA Baseball have partnered to bring young athletes a unique baseball & softball experience known as Fun At Bat. Through this program, kids learn every aspect of the game from fielding and throwing to batting, all while placing an emphasis on character development, functional movement, literacy, active play, and fun! The overarching goal of the program is to promote fun and active lifestyles for children while teaching them the fundamentals of baseball and softball.

Each Fall and Winter, the Reds Youth Academy implements the Fun at Bat program for kids ages 4-7 years old. This program is held each Saturday morning at the Reds Youth Academy and kids will get the opportunity to play t-ball games on our indoor turf field!
