The Metropolitan Junior Baseball League Inner City Classic is returning to the Richmond area.

Games featuring youngsters in age groups from 19 and under are set for July 30 through Aug. 4 at a variety of diamonds in Richmond and Henrico County.

The Inner City Classic was last played in the Richmond area in 2014.

The event also features the Bobby Bonds Memorial Symposium focusing on issues that plague youths in African-American communities.

Founded in Richmond, the MJBL is now in its 53rd year of operations. While the MJBL focuses on the inner city, its programs are open to all youth baseball organizations.
