Youth Sports
Here at the Effingham Park District we provide a wide range of sports/activities for the youth. We emphasize providing a fun, positive, competitive environment while teaching them all about the games they will come to love.
Most of our coaching is dependent on our wonderful and selfless volunteers. If you are interested in being a part of these kids’ experiences, there is a sign-up spot on the child’s registration where you can provided the necessary information. All you have to do is pass a background check (for the safety of the kids), and as an added perk, your child’s registration fee will be waived. Any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to the office.
