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.
