During the academic year, Milwaukee Recreation operates a variety of school-based youth sports leagues for teams across the area. Gyms and fields are bustling with activity on Saturday mornings and afternoons in every corner of the city, as our student-athletes develop new skills, build friendships, and learn lessons in sportsmanship with the support of spectators, coaches, officials, and staff.
For several sports this year, Milwaukee Recreation continued its tradition of hosting citywide season-ending showcases and tournaments to crown champions and provide a stage for the next generation of City Conference stars to perform. See below for information and recaps on our youth sports season-ending events!
