Youth Sports

Soccer Kids

Youth sports provide a fun and exciting way to cultivate a child’s physical and mental development.  Team sports are particularly beneficial in teaching a child how to operate in a group dynamic and positively participate with others. The City of Kerman’s Recreation Department currently manages three sports programs, including a basketball, t-ball/baseball, and soccer league. Kerman children are also invited to participate in community-operated sports leagues.  Browse the league descriptions below to discover a program which will fit your child’s interests.

On-Line Registration is fast and simple.  Follow the link below and register your child today!
