Opportunities for youth to play volleyball, flag football and running cross country are available through the city parks and recreation department.
Success by Burbank and Burroughs highs have helped make these programs popular.

Games will be played week nights at the local middle school gymnasiums. One can sign up in the sports office at the Olive Park Recreation Center, located at 1111 W. Olive Ave.
