The mission of the Kirkwood Town Board and Youth Sports and Recreation Program is to provide a safe, social environment free of charge to all residents living within the Town of Kirkwood. The Town feels that all the youth in the Town have the right to enjoy youth programming and activities. Any Town of Kirkwood resident may compete in youth sports free of charge, and all surrounding communities are also welcome, for a small fee that may vary depending on the sport. Questions of eligibility, programming details, and cost may be directed to the Youth Sports & Recreation Supervisor listed above.

Baseball games will be played on weeknights and some Saturdays. Teams will typically begin practice in April with games usually starting the last week of April or first week of May. Practices and home games are played at River Park or Valley Park. Away games are played at Schnurbush Park in Conklin or Jackson Pond Park in the Town of Binghamton.

* 2025 Summer Sports *

~ 8U Softball & Baseball Summer All-Star Tournament Team

~ 10U Softball & Baseball Summer All-Star Tournament Team

~ 12U Softball & Baseball Summer All-Star Tournament Team

All-Star Teams are formed based on the available numbers, proactiveness of volunteer coaches, and the desire by players and parents to field competitive teams. Reach out to the Youth Recreation Supervisor if a Team is desired to be formed and put together.

All-Star Team Rosters are formed purely by recommendation in collaboration with the Youth Recreation Supervisor and the regular season Head Coaches of the age eligible players for each All-Star age level. Tryouts will no longer be held - it is our belief that a singular tryout may not accurately portray a players capability and that a more aggregate season-long view is most representative and appropriate. The Teams formed will compete in 1 to 3 local All-Star Tournaments in the June/July timeframe while periodically holding practices. If numbers and interest allow, multiple teams at an age level may be formed and can enter tournaments in A, B, or C divisions.

~ A Summer Soccer Camp is planned to be held in mid-July at River Park. Details and Registration Sign-ups will be available as it gets closer.
