Grades 1-8

Leagues let kids take their skills to the next level and experience positive competition. Age-based offerings vary by session and by sport. Leagues consist of organized practices and team contests with coaches and officials. The first two to three weeks focus on skill development practice and teamwork, while the remaining weeks introduce scored games and meets along with continued practice.
