Billings Parks Launches Four Youth Sports Programs for Summer
Flag football, girls basketball, tennis lessons and sports camps form the core of local offerings through the city department this season.
How we reported this
Billings Parks and Recreation has listed several youth sports programs for the coming months, with flag football for second through fifth graders and girls basketball for third through fifth graders among the highlighted activities.
Grassroots Programs Take Shape
The department runs a City of Billings Tennis Academy that begins its summer sessions focused on skill building. Separate youth sports camps emphasize introductory experiences across multiple activities. Tennis Is Elementary continues as a partnership effort with USTA Montana to grow participation at younger ages. These programs give families direct access to structured sessions that introduce basic rules and techniques in a local setting.
Flag football leagues operate for second through fifth graders as one option for team play during the season. The girls basketball program for third through fifth graders starts in October and provides another avenue for skill practice. Families in Billings can access the programs through the department site, where details on each offering appear with registration links. The listings show the department maintaining a steady menu of entry-level and seasonal sports for local youth without added barriers beyond standard sign-up.
