Sports
Looking to participate in youth sports this summer? Youth sports give the opportunity to participate in a team structure. Playing sports can help the youth develop individual characteristics such as confidence, self-esteem, independence, assertiveness, and conflict resolution. They can also learn values of a team including sportsmanship, teamwork, competition, respect, leadership, rule following, and much more. Most importantly, it provides youth with the opportunity to be outside, make friends, and have fun!
T-Ball - June/July
This is an introductory program to teach the fundamentals of throwing, catching, batting, and fielding skills to youth. T-ball is designed to be a recreational and fun program for players that strengths coordination, social skills, and teamwork in an easygoing environment.
