Billings Youth Sports: How to Get Involved and What You Need to Know to Start
Recent team achievements point families toward established local programs in soccer, trap shooting, cheer, softball and lacrosse.
How we reported this
The Billings United U19 girls soccer team won the 2025 U.S. Youth Soccer President's Cup national championship, one of several recent results that show clear pathways for young athletes in the area.
Soccer
Billings United fields teams that have reached national competition. Families interested in soccer can contact the club to learn about age-group options and registration steps that align with the same programs that produced the 2025 title-winning side.
Trap Shooting
The Billings Trap Club provides instruction and competition for teens. In July 2026, 16-year-old Colton Barta from Laurel recorded three first-place finishes and one third-place result at the 131st annual Montana State Trap Shoot, demonstrating the level of preparation available through the club.
Cheer
Billings All-Star Cheer Gym fields the Rebel team for girls aged 13 or younger. The squad went undefeated during its season and captured silver at the World Cheer Competitions in Orlando in April 2026, giving parents a direct example of what consistent training inside the gym can produce.
Softball
The Billings Fastpitch Showdown runs each June at Stewart Park and accepts teams across 10U through high-school divisions. The tournament supplies a local entry point for players seeking regular games without leaving the region.
Lacrosse
The Billings Scorpion Lacrosse Club runs sessions that introduce the sport to new participants across the community. The club focuses on the basic skills of a game that continues to add players each season.
Parents can begin by reaching out to the named organizations above and asking about current age divisions, required equipment and practice schedules. Each program maintains its own registration process tied to the facilities and events already operating in Billings.
