The Fort Leavenworth Youth Sports and Fitness program offers various activities for the youth of Fort Leavenworth. Every year more than 2,000 youth participate in Fort Leavenworth Youth Sports. This is done with the help of more than 200 adult volunteers. Youth Sports and Fitness sponsors fall soccer, cheerleading, flag football, running club, winter basketball and wrestling, spring soccer, baseball, softball and bowling as well as special camps and activities throughout the year.

Youth Sports and Fitness also offers a variety of skill building camps and clinics through the summer and fall seasons including soccer, baseball and basketball. For more information call the Youth Sports and Fitness Office, 684-7525 or 684-7526.

All Youth Sports and Fitness programs are recreational and will emphasize fun, fundamentals, and maximum participation for your youth rather than winning or losing as the main focus. The program should allow your child to gain knowledge of the sport in a variety of positions on the team and encourage each participant to be involved in making decisions that build self-esteem and develop life long routines.
