COLORADO SPRINGS — Registration for youth sports opens Wednesday, and this year, the city is offering hundreds of families the opportunity to play for free.
For the first 180 kids who register in the Pre-K through 2nd grade for spring soccer, the usual $86 fee will be waived. And the first 150 to sign up for summer t-ball get to do so for free.
But registration for t-ball won't open until February 24th. This is all thanks to a partnership with Olympic City USA to get more kids to take part in city youth sports leagues.
The free fee program started 4 years ago but again it is first come first serve. Registration opens at 9 a.m. Click here to get started.
