Kansas City Urban Youth Academy

Our Mission

The Urban Youth Academy (UYA) empowers Kansas City’s urban youth to unlock their potential and become the leaders of tomorrow through baseball and softball. We are committed to educating our players by surrounding them with coaches, mentors, and role models who can teach them how to play the games of baseball and softball and serve as examples of good citizenship.

Through our athletic-focused training, education, and character development programs, we aim to build a strong foundation for Academy student-athletes. The UYA exists to grow the game within the urban community so youth can succeed on and off the field.
