About Howell Recreation Youth Sports
The Howell Area Parks & Recreation Authority’s Youth Sports Program is designed to allow youth the opportunity to participate in various sporting activities in a non-competitive environment. All athletes get an equal amount of attention and playing time regardless of ability. All programs are first-come, first-served. Programs can fill to capacity before the deadline. Teams are formed based off registration details: practice day preference, time preference, coach, etc.
Please note: Any teams without a coach (teams titled Coach *NEEDED*) at the close of registration will be merged into existing teams, which may increase roster sizes.
We can’t wait for another great season of play and FUN!
