The Kansas City Royals Urban Youth Academy provides players with fun and competitive batting practice opportunities throughout the year. Our Royals Hitter’s Friday hitting league is designed to offer players the chance to “practice with a purpose” in an environment that requires “game time” focus and ability to execute a variety of hitting skills on demand, such as bunting, situational hitting and live game scenarios. The league consists of simulated games with 3-4 players per team who compete in a pool play league format with the end of league tournament to decide the champion for the night. Games consist of players hitting baseballs or softballs fed by one of the coaches off a machine. The games are scored based on where the ball is hit within our cages divided into single, double, triple, and home run areas as well as areas for outs and double plays.
