Rec & Ed proudly offers the kid-friendliest youth sports program in the Ann Arbor area. Youth in grades Y5 - 8th can choose from a variety of team sports opportunities, including soccer, field hockey, basketball, baseball, softball, coach pitch, volleyball, T-ball, indoor soccer, and flag football. We also offer a winter high school basketball league as well. The focus is on building skills and enjoyment of the sport while having fun with peers.
Typically, players register individually and are assigned by public school attendance area or by the school they actually attend, public or private. The teams are formed by grade, not age. See our Youth Sports and Tennis pages for more information.
