Yes, we are. In spring and summer youth sports we participate in Dixie Baseball and Softball.  In other sports, such as basketball and track and field, we take part in Alabama Recreation and Parks Association sponsored programs.

Children ages 4 and up can take part in some of our programs. However, eligibility does hinge on birthday guidelines established by such organizations as Dixie and ARPA. Check with our office to make certain your child is eligible for the league he or she wants to participate in.

• Basketball leagues play their games at Dunbar Community Center on School Highlands Road.
• Dixie Boys play at Beeland Complex on East Commerce Street.
• Dixie Minors (AAA) at Greenville Sportsplex on Pineapple Hwy.
• Youth softball games are played at the Greenville Sportsplex on Pineapple Hwy. 
• T-ball baseball teams play at Dunbar Park (Dunbar Street).
• Mite and Ozone Leagues play at Beeland Complex on East Commerce Street.

On your initial visit, we will ask for a birth certificate that will remain on file as long as your child participates in Greenville Parks and Recreation Department (GPRD) programs. Each year you will need to update insurance information and provide us with shirt sizes for your child.

Each child must have insurance coverage before he or she can participate. If you don't have your own policy, we can provide (for a small fee) a policy through one of our affiliate organizations.

The registration fee is $50.

In baseball and softball, your registration fee covers the cost of a cap and shirt. In basketball, shirts are provided.

Canceling games is something we don't like to do, so we wait until all doubt is removed before making that call. When a decision is made, we will post that information on our GPRD facebook and our alerts. Sign up here:

We'd like to say it is, but because of rainouts and other unforeseen problems cancellations may occur. We do adjust the schedule from time to time for makeup games, etc. This information will be communicated through our alerts.
