Below is a list of athletic service organizations and a contact person. If you are unable to locate a specific organization, contact the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department at 937-296-2454. The Kettering Youth Sports Commission is comprised of representatives from each land-based youth sport organization in Kettering. The Commission’s purpose is two-fold. First, to ensure that the sports offered to the children of the community meet the needs and interests of the community. Second, to ensure that all youth participating in Kettering sports have the safest and best possible experience. This “greater good” concept is somewhat unique to the national youth sports world, but is what truly separates Kettering youth sports from national or other youth sports providers in the region. Please direct any questions or concerns to the Recreation Manager at 937-296-3280.
