Youth Sports
Erie Parks & Recreation strives to provide a positive, safe, and fun environment to allow children of all skill levels the opportunity to play. We hope to create an environment that balances teamwork, commitment, hard work, sportsmanship and competition. We provide 2-3 contacts per week with enthusiastic volunteer coaches, and hope that at the conclusion of the season your child learned about the game, improved skills, and wants to play again.
