Nike partnered with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Augusta on April 1 to host a youth sports clinic on golf fundamentals and life skills that targeted more than 4,700 participants across three counties.

These programs give families clear entry points into organized sports through recurring seasons and established local groups rather than one-off events.

Seasonal Offerings from Augusta Recreation & Parks

Augusta Recreation & Parks runs three youth athletics seasons each year. Winter covers boys and girls basketball. Spring includes co-ed T-ball, baseball and fast-pitch softball. Fall offers flag football, tackle football, cheerleading, soccer and fall baseball or softball.

Leagues and Recent Local Activity

i9 Sports runs youth leagues in Augusta for flag football, soccer, baseball and basketball. The Augusta Sports Council lists additional groups that include Martinez-Evans Little League, GA-SC Bulls Youth Soccer and Georgia Soul Basketball. North Augusta High School opened Jacket Park in February 2026 with upgraded baseball and softball fields that supported the varsity team's 4A state basketball championship in March 2026. The 2026 Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals took place at Augusta National Golf Club on April 5 and featured golfers ages 7 to 15, including 6-year-old Sophia Eagan and Augusta native Kipp Madison.

Practical Steps to Begin

Parents can review the seasonal calendars from Augusta Recreation & Parks and contact i9 Sports or the groups listed by the Augusta Sports Council to match a child's age and preferred sport. The April 1 clinic demonstrated one model for removing barriers through partnerships that combine skill instruction with broader life skills.
