About Howell Recreation Youth Sports

The Howell Area Parks & Recreation Authority’s Youth Sports Program is designed to allow youth the opportunity to participate in various sporting activities in a non-competitive environment.  All athletes get an equal amount of attention and playing time regardless of ability.  All programs are first-come, first-served. Programs can fill to capacity before the deadline. Teams are formed based off registration details: practice day preference, time preference, coach, etc.

Please note: Any teams without a coach (teams titled Coach *NEEDED*) at the close of registration will be merged into existing teams, which may increase roster sizes.

We can’t wait for another great season of play and FUN!
