We need your support. With your support we can provide more life changing sports and recreation opportunities and experiences for our members.

Sports and Recreation play a vital role in our youth's development. We provide many different sports and activities which we use as a vehicle to teach our youth life lessons. We provide different activities, competitions and teams for our youth to participate in. These programs guide our members in learning important life skills such as teamwork, respect, hard work and achieving goals. Sports and recreation play a big role in helping our youth stay focused and follow a path to a positive healthy lifestyle

Sports: We provide many different games and competitions that our youth look forward to daily. Basketball programs are the largest sports and recreation program. We have many basketball training, practice and recreational games that a large percentage of our youth participate in. We also have a travel basketball team for our older members who compete against other local teams and Boys & Girls Clubs. Another sport our youth have a large interest in is volleyball. We provide time for group volleyball games and practice. This is a growing program at club.

Games: The club is known for its high energy tournaments and competitions. Every week we have different games and activities that our youth compete in. These range from games room (ping pong, pool, mancala etc) to athletic (shot clock, races, bowling etc) activities. Nothing gets out kids more excited than the announcement of a new competition or tournament!

Environmental: Our environmental program is a very important program to our youth. Our members don't have the same opportunities as other youth to explore what is outside their neighborhood. This program exposes and educates them to a part of our county that is not familiar to them. It opens their eyes to new experiences and potential interests. It also provides an opportunity for our youth to escape the neighborhood they are usually confined to and just explore!

Our Sports and recreation programs provide valuable activities and experiences that guide our youth through their progression to adulthood. It is through these programs where we teach valuable skills that our members will apply to their future jobs and families. These programs also provide activities and structure that motivate our youth to stay on a path to a positive and successful future.

Our sports and recreation programs need your support! Supporting these programs will allow us to provide more opportunities and incentives to keep more youth engaged and focused on staying on a positive track. Your support is also vital to us providing new opportunities for our members. We are looking to expand our programs to experiences that are not typically available to our youth. We are aiming to provide sports programs to our members that introduce our members to sports such as lacrosse, soccer and field hockey at a young age. We also want to provide more environmental experiences that get our youth involved in and opens their eyes to all parts of Ulster County.
