With leagues now available for boys and girls ages 4-18, we offer the opportunity for all youth to participate in our summer baseball programs.
Baseball League registrations will open May 1st, 2023. The league runs June – August.

Basketball leagues at the Club keep boys and girls ages 6-18 active during the winter while providing them with the opportunity to work on skill development and teamwork. As with all our sports leagues, the emphasis in basketball is on building skills in a competitive but friendly environment. For all of our players, we emphasize good sportsmanship and teamwork. With caring volunteer coaches serving as positive adult role models for our participants, our players learn much more than just ball handling skills!
