The Neighborhood Games: Sports & Rec Programs 

Neighborhood Games Philosophy

The Neighborhood Programs represent a return to play in its purest form—joyful, inclusive, and community-centered. We've created a dynamic ecosystem of activities that utilizes traditional sports, backyard games, and mentally engaging pursuits to foster growth and connection.

We believe deeply that not every child at young ages or their families can or want to participate in intense sports and activities with demanding schedules, escalating costs, and high-pressure competition, yet all deserve the chance to experience the joy of play. Our programs create a "backyard" atmosphere where the primary focus is fun and learning through participation. All activities are supervised by responsible adults and often feature high school and college-aged mentors who help build self-esteem, confidence, and a genuine sense of belonging.

Our philosophy is simple: variety, flexibility, and fun. We offer something for every interest and ability level. In an era where travel sports costs are soaring and families face increasing pressure from expensive clinics, lessons, and distant competitions, we offer a refreshing alternative across all types of recreation. No memberships required. No long-term commitments needed. Just play as you go.



We are local. We are family-owned. We provide opportunities for all—children and adults alike—to learn and play in a supportive, inclusive environment that celebrates effort over achievement and community over competition.

Our Core Principles

Accessible for All

We've designed our programs to be as accessible as possible, breaking down the barriers that often prevent people from participating in organized activities. Many activities follow our "Bring a Buddy" program, offering 2-for-1 pricing to make recreation more inclusive.

Learn a Little, Play a Lot

Our programs focus on creating a supportive environment where the primary goal is fun and participation. We provide just enough structure and skill development to help participants enjoy the activity, without the pressure of intensive training or high-level competition.

Flexibility First

No season-long commitments, no pressure—just fun, flexible recreation when it works for your schedule. Our credit system allows you to drop in and participate in one activity or purchase a credit pack to save money and attend regularly in the activities of your choice.

Mentorship & Positive Role Modeling

We believe in the power of positive role models. Our programs feature adult, high school and college-aged mentors who work alongside to create an environment where participants build self-esteem, confidence, and genuine connections across different age groups.
