Recreation Center Sports Programs

The City of Irving’s Sports Program has established itself as a cornerstone of community engagement and public health. Irving's recreation centers operate 12 seasonal leagues, spanning sports such as soccer, baseball, basketball and volleyball.

The City of Irving’s Sports Program not only delivers tangible improvements in public health and youth development but also sets a benchmark in operational efficiency and community service innovation.


The program serves over 5,000 participants annually. Detailed evaluations indicate a 30% increase in youth participation since the program’s strategic overhaul in 2021.


The initiative leverages modernized scheduling and registration systems that have reduced wait times by 25%, streamlining the sign-up process for families and ensuring efficient resource allocation.


Partnerships with local schools and community centers have resulted in dedicated training facilities and access to professional coaching, which has contributed to a 15% improvement in participants’ reported physical fitness levels, according to annual surveys.


Additionally, the program has introduced specialized workshops on sportsmanship and leadership, benefiting over 1,200 youths each year. Metrics from community health reports and feedback surveys show a measurable boost in local health outcomes, alongside enhanced social cohesion within the community.
