Youth Athletics

The Barrington Park District and South Barrington Park District have joined together to offer the children in the Barrington area a fun, recreational basketball league. Players of all skill levels are encouraged to participate in this high-energy league for budding hoops players. Whether your child is new to the game or looking to improve basketball skills, this program is the perfect way to have fun playing hoops!

The Barrington Youth Lacrosse Association (BYLA) spring lacrosse league is open to all athletes in grades 1-8 who are interested in learning and excelling at lacrosse in a fun but competitive setting. We offer four team levels based on grade level.

For those who have never skated or have never had formal lessons.  Skaters, ages 6 and up, will learn the basics of Figure Skating: how to balance on the ice, as well as forward and backward skating.

Junior-sized basketballs and age-appropriate hoops make this program the perfect introductory class for kids looking to play the game of basketball. By practicing simple drills, the instructor will help kids become familiar with passing, dribbling and shoot. Team play, sportsmanship and fun will be stressed. Play basketball the fun and exciting way, the 5 Star Sports way!

This class is for those who have never played pickleball before or who have very limited experience with the sport. It will focus on pickleball basics such as forehand and backhand shots, serving, and court positioning. Players will also learn scoring and the rules of the game through drills and playing time. The slower pace of this class will give the players opportunity to develop the skills needed to play this fun and energetic game.

We will teach you the techniques that will stop an attacker immediately. They are easy to learn and use, do not require constant practice years or years of training to master, and work regardless of your age, size, strength, speed, skill or physical ability. You'll work with a partner to learn the methods taught in class which include defenses against armed and unarmed attackers; single/multiple attackers; standing, sitting, and ground techniques; and rape defense/prevention. You'll learn to anticipate and avoid potentially dangerous situations and how to defend yourself from a physical attack including; grabs, punches, chokes, bear hugs, headlocks, kicks, knives, guns, and more from a much bigger and stronger attacker.

The D-League is the perfect program for younger boys and girls who can’t wait to jump into basketball for the first time. Participants will have fun while learning the fundamentals of the game. To help practice the basics of shooting, the baskets are lowered to 8 feet. A junior size basketball (27.0”-27.5”) is used to help each player work on dribbling and passing. Man-to-Man defense is taught by using colored wristbands worn by each player.

Played similar to traditional golf, the object is to throw the disc into the target in the fewest amount of throws. This class will teach you the basics how to throw the disc, putting into a target and the etiquette of the game. For players with some basic experience, this class will also give you some insight on different types of shots to use on the course.

We will teach you how to kick, catch and pass like a pro in no time! From first timers, all the way to established veterans, we're ready to help you on your way to superstardom. Classes will be held once a week and end with a scrimmage, so the players get a solid set of skills as well as the excitement of in-game action.

Come represent your hometown in this recreational basketball league for 5th to 8th grade girls. We will compete against teams from Bartlett, Dundee, Huntley, Hoffman Estates, Palatine, Streamwood, Schaumburg and South Barrington in this fun new league.
