Core Values
Youth Development
We believe recreation is more than just play — it’s a foundation for learning teamwork, discipline, and leadership.
Safety
We strive to provide a secure, supportive environment where every child feels protected, valued, and encouraged to try their best.
Inclusion
We welcome all children, regardless of ability or background, and strive to ensure every participant feels like part of the team.
Sportsmanship
We aim to teach respect, fairness, and humility — lessons that go beyond the game.
Fun
We never lose sight of why kids play — for the joy of the game, the friendships made, and the memories created.
Community
We connect families, volunteers, and young athletes to build pride in Urbana and strengthen the bonds that make our town special.
