Youth Sports

    • Please reach out to the Rec Director if you're interested in helping bring baseball back to Rec in the years to come! We don't have enough coaches to meet the demand, and the cost of field maintenance, equipment, uniforms, and scheduling/registration fees slurps up a rec budget! We appreciate any community coordination and support available to pull it off.
