COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The registration portal for the Colorado Springs Youth Sports Program is now available.

As previously reported, the City of Colorado Springs expanded its no-fee registration program to 1300 children in 2023. The city plans to maintain this through 2024.

The following sports programs have free registration available but are first come first serve:

  • Soccer
    • 400 Spots for Fall Registration
    • 400 Spots for Summer Registration
  • T-Ball
    • 300 Spots Available
  • Baseball & Softball
    • 200 Spots Available

The program was created by Olympic City USA as a way to encourage community growth, youth activity, and health.

“We believe that every child should have access to organized sports regardless of their financial situation,” said Will Davis, Colorado Springs Youth Sports Program Administrator. “Youth sports not only promote physical activity but also teach important life lessons. 2024 is an Olympic and Paralympic Games year, and we are thrilled to infuse the Olympic and Paralympic values of excellence, friendship, respect, courage, determination, inspiration, and equality through all our programming. These values are essential in the world of sports and beyond.”

The program is also looking for adults who are looking to help as volunteer coaches as a way to engage with their community. The city says no coaching experience is necessary and training will be provided to all volunteers.
