2026 Spring General Athletics
Our Spring General Athletics program is open for youth ages 9-17. General athletics is a great intro into a variety of sports and physical fitness and an amazing way to make friends and grow in faith. General athletics does not involve a team commitment which makes it a great solution for families unable to commit to attending every event. Parents are welcome to stay or drop off their children. (We’re big believers in including as much of the family as possible. We do allow “junior” participants who fall a little below the age cutoff but are ready for playing so long as their parents stay on location).
2026 Spring Featured Athletics will be announced in early 2026
Where: variety of parks throughout the Capital District (Albany, Delmar, Averill Park, Troy, etc…) Park locations and schedules are distributed to our registered members.
When: Thursdays after school {April through June}
