The Parks and Recreation Department is pleased to offer field-based youth sports programs for the spring 2010 season! The non-competitive, instructional program will be held at 6 sites across the city and offer a limited selection of team sports for 5 – 10 years olds. Funding to restore this portion of the programming comes from the Phoenix Parks and Preserve Initiative which was approved by the taxpayers in 2008. A percentage of the PPPI funding is identified for use in supporting youth programs.

VOLUNTEERS make this program possible. Please join us in providing a positive and fun-filled sports experience for our children. Each team needs a Coach to conduct practices and direct players during scrimmage games. Assistant Coaches and Team Parents provide valuable support teaching skills, monitoring players, organizing activities and much more. In accordance with city policy, all volunteers who provide direct service to children must be fingerprinted and pass a background check.

So don't wait...fill out your volunteer application now so you are ready to start right along with the team!
