Youth sports leagues and activities
The WRC is committed to provide a safe environment for all children to learn and improve their athletic skills and ability, learn sportsmanship, and most of all have fun! Team sizes are limited so be sure to sign up before the registration deadline, or else you may be placed on a waiting list for when or if a new team can be formed.
Help Coach!
Volunteer coaches are the backbone of youth sports in America. Without the thousands of parents signing up to coach youth sports every season, the youth sports world would come to a screeching halt! Please consider coaching if you love sports and like working with kids. Coaching is a fun and rewarding experience that can lead to a lifetime of memories. If you are interested in volunteering with our youth sports, contact our sports director, Tanner Ford at [email protected] or 620-326-3323.
