AccessibilitySummer Sports Experience
Summer Sports Experience is an instructional youth program that teaches sports skills. Our knowledgeable Parks staff train kids in sports such as basketball, ball hockey, kickball, flag football, futsal, pickleball, soccer, team handball, track and field, and volleyball. This program covers basic and more advanced techniques.
Summer Sports Experience is a drop-in program recommended for children ages 8-14. Participants can stop by for one or more sessions, but kids who stay for the whole program will get the most benefit from it.
How to Join
Summer Sports Experience is a free, drop-in program without registration. Children can head to the playground during the listed hours of operation to participate. Occasionally a Summer Sports Experience program may be cancelled due to harsh weather or other conditions.
Please note: We recommend that guardians accompany children participating in this program. Summer Sports Experience is not a child care program and NYC Parks is not responsible for the well-being of attendees.
