The philosophy behind our youth and adult athletics programs is to provide an atmosphere that focuses on fun, opportunity, sportsmanship, and skill development. Sports can play a positive role in personal growth, fostering physical skills, teamwork, and emotional well-being at any age.
By creating a positive experience for all participants, we hope to encourage a lifetime of involvement in sports and recreation. You can help! We need the cooperation and support of parents, coaches, and athletes to promote and demonstrate these values both on and off the field.

Scholarship Information
Because some residents are unable to participate in recreation programs due to economic hardship, the Champaign Park District offers scholarships to reduce certain fees and charges. The Youth Scholarship Program applicants are not guaranteed fund availability, program registration or choice of program location. Early applications are given priority. Need is the primary criterion upon which scholarship applicants are considered. Questions: Visit our registration page or 217-398-2550.
