Greensboro Parks and Recreation offers Start Smart basketball, baseball and flag football throughout the year.

Start Smart was developed by top motor skills development specialists in the field of youth sports. Parent-child groups perform motor skill tasks that gradually build confidence in children while they are having fun. Start Smart participants will develop proper motor skills without the threat of competition or the fear of getting hurt, which will allow them to enjoy and succeed in youth sports in the future.

Greensboro is nationally recognized as a Better Sports for Kids Program Provider by the National Alliance for Youth Sports
