Spring Recreational Sports Now Open

Spring sports leagues are now open at the Kearney Parks and Recreation Department. These programs emphasize safe, fun, and instructional recreation. Four leagues and one clinic are now available to the public.

The Parks and Recreation Department offers a recreational baseball league that is open to boys ages 7-14 of all skill levels. The league will provide a jersey, hat, and end of the season medals. Players will need their own glove and helmet.

Kearney Parks and Recreation partners with Smithville Parks and Recreation and Platte City Parks and Recreation for games. The location and day of games for each division will be based on the number of teams that make up the division. Some travel to Smithville and Platte City will be involved.

Like youth baseball, the league will provide a jersey, hat, and end of the season medals. Players will need their own glove and helmet.
