The Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) Child and Youth Services CYS Sports & Fitness program offers various opportunities for children to participate in sports. The program provides support for children aged 3-18 years to encourage healthy, life-long habits.
Team sports are only available with the participation of volunteer coaches and assistants. Team sports practices held weekdays, Monday through Thursday with ages 4-10 at 5:30 and ages 11-15 at 6:30 (subject to change based on volunteer availability). Coaches are trained and certified by the National Alliance of Youth Sports (NAYS) and must have a completed background check. Players must be registered with CYS to enroll in a sport. Sports Physicals are good from 1 year of last exam. (Summer is best time to get yearly physicals.)
