Youth Programs and Recreation
Youth Recreation
DID YOU KNOW?
Until 2023, the City of Sikeston has never been the host/owner of any sports leagues in town - they've all been put on by outside organizations. We currently have 3rd-6th grade rec league basketball and plan to acquire 1st and 2nd grade for the winter 2025 season. We also added in a cheer program to go with basketball. We are also trying to incorporate fall baseball, coed and men's softball and coed kickball leagues for summer/fall 2024.
DID YOU KNOW?
Smaller Ballers is an Intro-to-Sports program created by NAYS and often referred to as Start Smart. This program allows children ages 3-6 years old to learn the fine motor skills needed to start playing on their first organized sports league. This program was started in Sikeston in the summer of 2022 to give toddlers a recreation activity while also working on developing much needed age-appropriate skills. We now offer T-Ball, Soccer, Basketball and Football.
"WE'VE GOT THINGS TO DO - LET US SHOW YOU!"
"I'M BORED. I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING TO DO!"
We've got plenty to do! Maybe you're just now aware of what Sikeston has to offer. Let us help you! We've compiled a list of recreational activities available in the Sikeston area with contact information for each. The list is ever-growing so please check our City website for added/updated information.
"WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE HAPPEN?"
We are always open to hearing your suggestions when it comes to Recreational programming for Sikeston. We cannot always guarantee the feasibility of all suggestions but we certainly try. If you have an idea of a program, event, equipment, etc. please let us know! We cannot offer what the citizens want if we don't get your feedback. You can reach out to us via email, phone call, social media or at events!
"CAN I HOST MY OWN SPORTING EVENT OR TOURNAMENT IN ONE OF THE PARKS?"
Absolutely! Email Abbi Lindsey at alindsey@sikeston.org for more information about rentals and reservations.
