Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all school-based Fall Youth Sports leagues have been canceled. The decision was made to protect the safety of student-athletes, staff, and spectators. As an alternative, the Milwaukee Recreation Youth Sports Office has created a series of instructional opportunities for students in soccer, volleyball, flag football, tennis, girls’ basketball, and cross-country fun runs. Unlike the standard school sports registration process, these clinics/lessons will require students to register and pay fees individually to Milwaukee Recreation.
