Fall Sports (Teeball, Baseball, Softball) - Our fall sports programs mirror our spring programs in many ways except that league age for softball is based on player age November 1, 2012.

The program is designed to move players up in the fall to the league they will play in the following spring. We do not yet offer fall leagues for children older than league age 13, but if demand is high enough we will explore the possibility. Registration will begin in July and continue until early August. Games will begin in early September and continue through late October. Fees for fall sports in 2011 were $50. Fees for 2011 have not yet been set.

 

Winter Sports (Basketball and Cheerleading) - Our basketball league is open to children ages 5-13 divided into three age groups according to numbers and ages of the children registered each year. Games are played at the Youngsville Elementary School gymnasium on Saturdays beginning in early December and continuing through mid-February. Cheerleading is held in conjunction with these games. Contact the rec director for more information.

 

Soccer is not provided by Youngsville Parks and Recreation Department. However, Youngsville Area Kids Soccer has provided both spring and fall soccer programs for hundreds of children in the area for many years. We make every effort to schedule our games so as not to conflict with scheduled soccer games, so please feel free to participate in both programs. In addition, Franklin County Parks and Recreation offers alternative recreational opportunities such as youth fishing and adult programs.

 

Youngsville Parks and Recreation is exploring the possibility of adding adult softball leagues in the summer. If you would be interested in forming a team and entering into summer and fall league play in Youngsville, please contact us.
