Opened in West Dallas in 2017, the Texas Rangers Youth Academy facility features five outdoor fields, batting cages, pitcher bullpens, and the Globe Life Training Center, which houses one MLB sized indoor field, classrooms, and a weight room.
The Texas Rangers Youth Academy provides free year-round baseball and softball instruction to athletes ages 7-18, summer ball through Major League Baseball’s Nike RBI (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities) League,and dozens of development opportunities for its athletes.
The Rangers Youth Academy also focuses on creating Major League Citizens off the field. With help from Foundation partner Buckner International, athletes have access to extensive educational programming, out-of-school school activities, and adult classes offered in Spanish and English. Additionally, Buckner and the Youth Academy support families across the community through special events like school supply and equipment donations, Thanksgiving meal distributions and holiday celebrations.
