The Kansas City Royals, Kansas City Royals Foundation, and Kansas City Urban Youth Academy will celebrate MLB PLAY BALL Weekend presented by Nike from June 5–7, 2026, with three days of youth‑focused clinics and activities designed to introduce and grow the game of baseball and softball throughout the Kansas City community. All participants will receive a PLAY BALL T‑shirt and a Franklin Bat & Ball set.

Program Information

We will kick off PLAY BALL Weekend with an invite‑only PLAY BALL Clinic at the Urban Youth Academy, which will also serve as a celebration of RBI. This event is designed for RBI participants ages 5–12 and highlights both baseball and softball participation. Check‑in will begin at 6:00 p.m., followed by programming from 6:30–8:30 p.m. Youth participants will rotate through age‑appropriate activities, with younger participants engaging in a T‑ball clinic, while those ages 8–12 participate in a wiffle ball tournament. This event will mark the conclusion of Junior RBI and the official kickoff of Senior RBI, serving as a meaningful transition and celebration for our participants.
