Parks & Recreation Director Shannon Davies told aldermen that 451 children are registered for t‑ball, baseball and softball and that youth soccer in Grain Valley is currently provided by the Grain Valley Sports League in partnership with Lee’s Summit Parks & Recreation under Sporting Lee’s Summit.
Parks & Recreation Director Shannon Davies reported at the March 24 Board of Aldermen meeting that t‑ball, boys baseball and girls softball season is upcoming with 451 children registered.
Alderman Ryan Skinner asked about youth soccer offerings. Davies said Grain Valley previously partnered with Oak Grove Metro East Soccer, which dissolved five years ago. Today the Grain Valley Sports League operates youth soccer in partnership with Lee’s Summit Parks & Recreation under the Sporting Lee’s Summit program; the city supports GVSL by providing field space for youth sports.
The report did not include fiscal details for programming or indicate immediate plans to re-establish a city-run youth soccer program; the deputy clerk separately noted occupational license renewals will begin the first week of April.
