HISTORY

Neighborhood Sports was established in 2003 by Jeff Forster and Hector Santiago, two neighbors and friends with a passion for youth sports. As frequent coaches for their children's teams, they noticed a need for a different, fundamental approach to youth sports that was not yet offered in the Austin area. Starting out with kickball and flag football in Cedar Park, TX, they quickly gained a reputation for a uniquely positive recreational environment. Simply: Everyone had fun. 

Now, our programs are organized year round, in the Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. Neighborhood Sports programs consist of camps, clinics, after school programs, and leagues. We are the premier NFL Youth Flag Football League for kids, ages 4-15 with league locations through-out the Austin area, Flower Mound and  Highland Village, Kyle/Buda, and in the Northeast San Antonio area. Many of our players have gone on to enjoy playing competitive sports in Middle School, High School, and even some in College.  We are also home to  the NFL Flag National Champions (boys and girls) 2006, 2008, 2011, and 2015. We are proud to say that we are one of the best recreational youth sports program providers in the country. Our kids develop into better players, and better people, building a better community.

 

MISSION

We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing recreational activities, promoting citizenship, and improving the lives of youths all through-out the community. Our programs develop leaders, team players, and build a better tomorrow for our young people.

CAUSE 
WE HAVE NEVER TURNED AWAY A CHILD WHO COULD NOT AFFORD A FEE!

The number varies annually, but approximately 5 – 10% of our participants benefit from our reduced fee program, which reaches families on government aid, on school lunch programs, and those who are simply experiencing a financial crisis. By inviting you to make a donation, we ask that you to stand with us, helping insure that we always "Let Kids Play". Your donation benefits reduced fee program participants and helps improve facilities for everyone in our community.
