ADULT Sports
We’ve got game.
At the J, we love our sports. We love seeing our kids be part of the team; we love cutting loose on the basketball courts after a long day in the office; we love watching others grow, learn and excel in their passions; and we love the satisfaction we feel after a hard-fought competition. Sports do that to us. We unite with a team and become part of a family.
The J offers programming in basketball, gymnastics, soccer, tennis, and more. We have a place for everyone on the team, whether you’re a beginner or a pro!
Adult Soccer
TRAIN. PLAY. THE J WAY.
This is the largest recreational co-ed league in the area consisting of two 25-minute halves in the 8 v 8 formations. Three of the eight players on the field MUST be a female. Females’ goals count double and slide-tackling is not allowed. Teams are registered as one unit through a captain as the representative. This is an 8-game regular season, and all teams will make the playoffs. We will do our best to accommodate make-ups due to inclement weather. Please note dates may change due to weather. Please note your team name and shirt color in your registration.
adult Basketball
The J way of playing basketball works to develop character athletes through competitions and training that support sportsmanship and fair play. Here at the J, we focus on the overall development of each athlete from the basic fundamentals to game strategies. The J way allows all athletes to play, learn, and grow regardless of age or skill level.
Registration will close online prior to the deadline if the league is full.
