Our local sport programs welcome athletes as young as 12, with no upper age limit. Athletes are welcome to participate in as many sports as desired. Athletes can participate in one or all of our 9 sports programs (Basketball, Floor Hockey, Nordic Skiing, Softball, Swimming, Soccer, Track & Field, and Indoor and Outdoor Bocce). These programs are run seasonally on a weekly basis by our dedicated coaches and volunteers.
