The Kroc Center offers a variety of sports for all ages.

Sport Schedules

Let's play some sports!

Activities for every age!
Our Kroc programs are intended to introduce children to athletic competition in an environment that is safe, supportive, and more concerned with a positive experience than the final score. Our goal is to make sure what may be your child’s first experience in sports is one that they will want to have again. We partner with coaches and parents to make sure that this is the focus at all times. Beyond the game, our goal is to see our community’s children learn the other lessons that competition and commitment provide including, teamwork, respect, accountability, integrity, sportsmanship, and good citizenship.

Thank You Thunderbirds for Sponsoring the Kroc Center.

In Loving Memory of Maurice Hill III

Proverbs 3:3–4
"Let love and faithfulness never leave you... Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man."

Maurice lived a life full of love and faithfulness. His impact reminds us that it's bigger than sports—it’s about purpose.

Uphill was created in his honor, to help children see that they are loved, that they matter, and that they too can make a difference, just like he did.

 

JERSEY POLICY

Due to a generous donation from Spee-D Tees Bar-B-Q, all jerseys (for first-time participants) in the Basketball and Volleyball program will be offered to players free of cost. If a jersey is lost or damaged a $20 jersey replacement fee will be charged.

Join the Volunteer Team 

We need your help! We love offering sports at the Kroc, but it couldn't be possible without our volunteers. Become a coach or referee and may qualify for discounted entry for your child.
