Kansas City baseball and softball complexes and the cities near them

Where the main baseball and softball complexes and academies are on both sides of the state line, with approximate drives to nearby city halls and links to each city's guide.

By Tom Staats Updated October 4, 2026 7 min read

The Kansas City metro has baseball and softball complexes and training academies on both sides of the state line. This post lists where the main ones are, what each facility says it offers, and roughly how far each one is from the nearest city halls, with links to the guides for those cities.

Programs, field counts and names change, so confirm current details with each facility before you plan around it. The drive tables use OpenStreetMap routing and show times without traffic, measured from each complex to a city hall.

Johnson County complexes

The 3&2 Baseball Club, Lenexa and Shawnee

3&2 Baseball Club of Johnson County plays on two complexes. The East Complex, fields 1 to 9, is at 18300 W. 87th Street in Lenexa. The West Complex, fields 10 to 27, is at 8000 Monticello Road in Shawnee. The club says the East Complex has nine lighted fields on 25 acres and the West Complex has 18 fields, 11 of them lighted, on 67 acres. It was established in 1951 and marked its 75th season in 2025, according to the Johnson County Post. The club runs league play, a fall season and invitational tournaments, and its office number is 913-888-8055.

Homefield KC, Olathe and Kansas City, Kansas

Homefield KC lists two facilities on its website. Its Olathe Training Center, at 2115 E. Kansas City Road in Olathe, covers 270,000 square feet with multi-purpose courts, multi-sport fields and a 20,000-square-foot performance lab. It is the main training site for Homefield's Building Champions academies, which include Building Champions Baseball.

Its Showcase Center is at 9250 State Avenue in Kansas City, Kansas. Homefield describes it as the hub for its basketball, volleyball and football academies and a site for tournaments and events. The Kansas City Star reported at its April 23, 2024 opening that the 150,000-square-foot arena holds 10 basketball and 12 volleyball courts.

The outdoor baseball fields are a few blocks north, at 1501 N. 90th Street: the Homefield Baseball Complex, with eight synthetic-turf fields on about 50 acres, built in 2024. The Star reported on July 24, 2026 that Homefield had listed the complex for sale, and that Prep Baseball Report and Homefield's baseball teams would keep managing and using it under a 20-year lease. Homefield's own website does not list the complex among its facilities, so confirm who runs an event there before you plan around it.

Practice sites and tournament sites

A team's weekly practice site and its tournament sites are often different places. Tournaments rotate among complexes around the metro and beyond it, while practices usually stay in one place for a season. If you are looking at homes, I'd start with where practices are held, then check the drive to the complexes your team plays at most.

  1. Find the practice site and use it as the starting point for drive times.
  2. Pick a drive time you can live with on a weekday, then test it at the hour you would make it, since the times above are without traffic.
  3. Look up the school district for each address if that matters to you. Districts do not follow city lines, so use the district's own lookup; the school district pages link to them.
  4. Check the full season. Spring, summer and fall schedules can use different fields.

You can search listings near any of these complexes by city, for example homes for sale in Lenexa or homes for sale in Olathe.
