Play It Forward Scholarship Fund

In Cary, we believe all citizens should have an equal opportunity to participate in recreation. Our Play It Forward scholarship fund allows residents to apply for reduced and/or no-fee Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources programs.

Inclement Weather Procedure

In case of inclement weather, a decision regarding games will be made by Sports staff. Information will be on the Town website. A recording will also be on the Weather Cancellation Line (919) 319-4500. Updates are made at 3 p.m. each weekday, 8 a.m. on Saturday and 12 p.m. on Sunday. If a decision is made after these times, it will be made at the facility by the officials.

Volunteer Coaches

Cary relies on volunteer coaches for the organized youth sports leagues. Coaches must be available for weekly practice and games. Each coach is required to be certified by the National Youth Sports Coaches Association and to submit and pass a background check. It is important that coaches teach sportsmanship as well as specific sport skills. Anyone interested in coaching any sport may view more information here . 

Thanks to our Sponsors

Local businesses and individuals who sponsor youth sports teams play an integral part in the success of Cary's sports programs. Without their continued support we would be unable to provide quality programs for the youth of Cary.
