PHILOSOPHY OF MASON PARKS & RECREATION YOUTH SPORTS
Mason Parks and Recreation (“MPR”) youth sports programs are designed to allow all children an opportunity to have fun, participate, and learn fundamental sports skills. We are committed to providing both educational and recreational programs and services. Participants will learn sportsmanship, respect, teamwork, fair play and self-confidence.
