The Department of Recreation and Parks youth sport program is a mutual endeavor between the Department and Athletic Associations throughout Anne Arundel County. For most sports, children must be at least eight (8) years old in order to participate in the county's organized sports leagues. The principals of participation, diversity, safety and fun guide the Department's program. While scores are reported and standings posted, the competitive aspects of these activities are secondary to the principles.
How do I register my child to play organized sports?
There are approximately over 100 Recreation Councils and Athletic Associations throughout Anne Arundel County, which organize teams to enter participants in the Department's organized sports leagues. Contact your community’s Recreation Councils or Athletic Association to register for youth league sports. With the exception of a few sports, the Department does not register or assign individual players to teams. Established teams register with the Department at our organizational team meetings.
