Columbia Parks and Recreation

At the City of Columbia Department of Parks and Recreation, young athletes are exposed to a range of sports, from basketball to golf. Novices and experts alike are encouraged to develop their skills in sports such as tennis and baseball, and to learn new skills such as how to serve volleyball and how to swim. Our coaches offer a balance of games, sports instruction, and competitive play in citywide tournaments.

Youth League Play is for boys and girls ages 4 – 17. All registration forms must be signed by a parent and accompanied by a copy of the child’s birth certificate. Registration is $20 and includes the jersey, award and insurance.
