Programs

Sports & Recreation

These Club programs foster fitness, promote positive leisure activities, reduce stress, and cultivate an appreciation for the environment, while also building resilience and personal growth.

Why Athletics Matter

Every Game Builds Great Futures

Our mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. Sports are one of the most powerful ways we live that mission every day.

Our vision is for every member to graduate with a plan for the future, demonstrate good character and citizenship, and live a healthy lifestyle. On the court, the field and the stage, Club kids practice all three.

“I believe in fair play, honesty, and sportsmanship.”

The Boys & Girls Club Code

Healthy Lifestyles

Daily physical activity builds strong bodies and healthy habits that last a lifetime.

Character & Sportsmanship

Kids learn to win with humility, lose with grace, and respect teammates, coaches and opponents.

Teamwork & Belonging

Being part of a team gives young people a place to belong and positive mentors in their corner.

Confidence & Resilience

Practice, setbacks and personal bests teach kids to set goals and keep working toward them.
