Knox County Parks and Rec offers adult recreational softball leagues, partners with local youth and adult sports associations offering sports leagues for all skills and abilities, and maintains numerous athletic facilities across Knox County.
YOUTH SPORTS
Knox County partners with numerous youth sports associations, also commonly referred to as "commissions", who build their leagues in community parks. Rules for Knox County youth leagues are discussed and determined by commissioners each year. Commissions set registration fees, form teams, recruit volunteer coaches, develop practice schedules, purchase any provided uniforms and equipment, and are the primary contact for parent and player communications.
