 ith parents and community volunteers leading the way, North Royalton has a strong tradition of youth sports. The city’s youth baseball program, run by the North Royalton Baseball Boosters, has 2,200 participants every year, says Mayor Bob Stefanik. The city also boasts a highly popular soccer league, managed by the North Royalton Soccer Club (NRSC), which draws as many as 1,200 kids annually between the ages of four and 14. We also have a very strong peewee football program through the Southern Hills Youth Football league. The city’s youth sports programs utilize public fields that are maintained by the city, but are otherwise self-sustaining, relying on registration fees and sponsorships.
And don’t forget the annual 5K Run, which will be held on November 1st this year. For any questions or more information, please call the recreation department at 440-237-5646. And as an added bonus, the Cleveland Metroparks run through the southern part of the city, which we are all fortunate to enjoy! |
