Clinic Series at KC

Camp Information

Student Athletics Foundation (“SAF”) and Kansas City Royals Urban Youth Academy (“UYA”)have partnered to bring you the Clinic Series at Kansas City (“Clinic”) to build the community of softball beyond the limits of the Kansas City Metro area. This event will allow individuals the opportunity to work with College Coaches and instructors with years of experience, allowing a new generation of dreamers to see themselves represented on the big stage. The clinics are designed to make the student-athlete a better player.

This Camp is for current 6th – 12th graders.
