Major League Baseball's first Urban Youth Academy was founded in 2006 in Compton, California. As a not-for-profit organization, the Urban Youth Academy aims to set the standard for baseball and softball instruction, teach and educate in Urban America, and enhance the quality of life in the surrounding communities. The program states that it seeks to make meaningful contributions to the development of urban communities, provide safe and organized recreational activities for urban youth, prepare urban high school players for college and professional baseball and softball programs, and support an educational component that aids students in the classroom. The Academy notes that it believes the skills learned in baseball and softball can be applied beyond the field, helping to shape a better community. The program requires anyone parking on campus to display a valid Compton College parking permit, with $3.00 daily permits available at automated stations in parking lots F and H and near the Administration and Math/Science buildings, and it states that absolutely no pets are allowed at the Academy. During online registration, families are asked to upload the child's most recent report card as a PDF, JPEG, or screenshot with a file size of 3 MB or less.
