INFORMAL SPORTS
Informal Sports are designed as a leisure activity for adults 18 & over meant to provide entertainment and enjoyment for its participants without umpires or referees. Most of our Informal Sports have a round robin structure where each team or individual has the opportunity to play one another while the league coordinator maintains the overall standings. Examples are sand volleyball, tennis, racquetball, ultimate frisbee and more. Please contact Ryan Smith at 979-297-4533 rsmith@lakejacksontx.gov for additional information about provided equipment and structure of the leagues.
