Kearney Parks & Recreation is excited to announce that registration for fall youth sports is now open for the 2026 season.

Families in Kearney, Missouri, have a variety of options to keep their children active and engaged this fall.

Among the offerings, the youth soccer league stands out as a popular choice.

Designed for children aged 4 to 14, the league focuses on introducing and developing soccer skills through fun and engaging activities.

Practices are scheduled to begin in late August, with games kicking off in late September.

Call to see where practice sessions will be held. All matches will take place at the Jesse James Park Soccer Fields, providing a convenient and familiar setting for local families.

In addition to soccer, the department offers a range of other sports programs.

These include youth flag football for grades K-7, youth volleyball for grades 3-7, and youth T-ball for ages 4-6.

Each program is tailored to foster skill development, teamwork, and a love for the game.

Registration deadlines are approaching quickly.

For most sports, the cutoff date is Sunday, August 2, 2026.

However, the T-ball program has a slightly later deadline of August 9, 2026.

It's important to note that late registrations cannot be accommodated due to jersey lead times.

To ensure your child doesn't miss out, it's advisable to register as soon as possible.

For families facing financial challenges, scholarships are available to ensure every child has the opportunity to participate.

All inquiries are handled with complete confidentiality.
