Athletics

News Flash:

Even as we begin to resume activities and re-open the closed amenities in our parks and facilities, social distancing, wearing a face covering while in public, and personal hygiene remains the most important aspect of keeping yourself and others safe. We strongly encourage all residents to assist in the safe use of our parks and facilities so that they can remain open!

For questions regarding Youth or Adult Athletics programs please call (901) 385-5599. Please continue to follow updates through this page and our Department’s other social media outlets for the latest information.
