Congratulations! The Down N Dirty open coed team claimed the 2020 summer league championship, along with the end-of-season tournament championship. Good Vibes Sports finished second in both, as well. This was a "modified" (three females required) coed league played under COVID-19 modifications. Thanks to all of the players who participated under these conditions. There will be no fall league but hopefully things will be back to some normalcy in 2021. ... Stay safe, everyone!

Great morning for Augusta Recreation and Parks first Lacrosse clinic at Diamond Lakes Regional Park! Thanks to all the participants, volunteers and staff for making this a great event!

Unfortunately the Augusta Recreation and Parks Department will not offer football, cheerleading, and soccer this Fall. In order to better accommodate the CDC's social distancing guidelines, we are considering to offer softball, baseball, and kickball as an alternative. We would like to get some input from the community on these plans and would like to hear from you if that is something you are interested in.
