Youth Sports
Youth sports are a great way to keep kids active, and there are a variety of competition levels for all ages. While the programs may have affiliated costs, many organizations offer scholarships or financial assistance. See the organization’s website for more information.
Baseball in Rhode Island has a handful of different playing levels that allow opportunities for every skill level. Each organization sets their own prices, but every league has some sort of free registration program that a family can apply for. Little League has an age based system to keep kids in the appropriate division based on age: Tee Ball division (4 to 6), Coach Pitch division (7 to 9), Kid Pitch or Minors (9 to 10), Majors (10 to 12), Junior (13 to 14), then Senior Division (15 to 16). Little League and Cal Ripken are recreation leagues, so they are typically for the average to above average player looking to play a spring sport. AAU organizations are highly competitive and are typically more expensive and time consuming.

Swim Empowerment
Black Youth in Rhode Island drown at five times the rate of White Youth. Swim Empowerment works to reverse this alarming trend. They believe that in order to reintroduce swimming into African American community, it is important to begin with children. Every year, Stages of Freedom provides the funds for an increasing number of Rhode Island youth of color to take swimming lessons through seven partnering YMCAs. The first step is calling your local YMCA to confirm there is still an opening for non-swimmers in your child’s age bracket and for the period of time you wish them to attend. Partnering YMCAs: Cranston, East Side/Mt. Hope, Pawtucket Family Branch.
