Sports, Fitness and Recreation

The goal of the Department of Athletics and Recreation at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Cleveland is to provide competitive and developmental athletics for middle-school aged boys and girls within our Club network. Additionally, high-school aged members will be given the unique opportunity to develop leadership skills through an officials/referee training program, and through coaching and mentoring opportunities.

Each season (Fall, Spring, Winter and Summer), the Boys & Girls Clubs will offer competitive league play for our middle-school aged youth in the following sports:

Fall - Flag Football (Co-ed) and Volleyball (Girls)

Winter - Wrestling (Co-Ed) and Basketball (Boys and Girls leagues)

Spring - Pee-Wee Basketball(Co-Ed) and Soccer (Co-Ed and Girls leagues)
