I moved to Fayetteville last fall and I’m having trouble finding summer sports leagues for kids. I’m looking for a 6 year old and a 12 year old. Any suggestions?
Calvin,
Baseball/softball is king here during the summer. I am not aware of any other rec leagues playing during that time.
However, there are several competitive leagues that run year round. Any sport in particular?
What about swimming lessons near Bentonville for a 4 year old?
Terri:
I’m also looking for information on sports signups. Where can I find info about particular baseball leagues? What about soccer for the fall? I found a program that Fayetteville does and the sign ups for the fall program are coming up soon.
I just wanted to let any parents that are interested know that I am giving guitar lessons over the summer. It is a great activity for your kids. If you are interested let me know. My email is jlambert@uark.edu
