Athletics

The Little Cat Athletics Program is part of the Northview Community Education basic programming which is offered at minimal cost to all community members of all skill levels. We work to maintain a fun and non-competitive atmosphere where young athletes can learn and practice basics skills as well as interact with other children in and around the community.  This program is based on basic skill development and  everyone plays.

Boy’s Basketball

Girl’s Basketball

Winter Season

This program offers young female athletes the opportunity to be introduced to the game of basketball and develop a passion for the sport.  We promote teamwork and leadership, and we hope to develop skills to not only help the young athletes on the court but in life as well.  Girls are divided into teams and in-house leagues according to grade, with 1st and 2nd together and 3rd and 4th together. 5th grade and 6th grade will have their own separate teams and leagues when possible.

Spring Season

Soccer has one of the largest youth sport participation rates in the country and Northview Community Education offers a fantastic and fun beginner-to-intermediate soccer program for our young athletes to experience the sport. Players will learn the basics of soccer from volunteer coaches and practice their skills in a non-competitive in-house league, or a travel league at the older age groups. Co-ed teams are formed with “Birth year” age groups to align with US Soccer directives ranging from 5 years old (by the first competition date) up through 8th grade.

Track is an awesome way for kids to stay active, cheer on classmates and teammates, and learn about the sport of track and field. Grade level co-ed teams are formed from DK-6th grade and teams compete against each other in their own age groups in weekly meets made up of field events and short running races.
