Winter youth sports at The J are seeing record participation this year thanks to the expansion of the facility in 2020.

Children between the ages of 3-17 can participate in leagues and clinics for seven different sports, including baseball, basketball, football, soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball. The leagues and clinics have different offerings for participants of a wide variety of skill levels.

Many of this winter’s programs are now available on site at The J because of the expanded space. With a turf field, The J can now host indoor baseball, football, soccer and softball clinics and leagues. With the addition of a second gymnasium, the registration for youth basketball this winter has increased by 30% over the previous record season.

Approximately 700-800 children are expected to participate this year, and registration remains open until Oct. 31. Those interested in more information can visit TheJKC.org, or contact Bob Hennecke at   or 913-327-8005.
