Register for youth soccer season

The Plant City Parks and Recreation Department announced sign-ups for the 45th annual PCPRD/Optimist Youth Soccer Program season are now underway.

The program is open to area youths age 4-18 (as of June 1, 2021), who will be divided into 11 age groups in boys, girls and co-ed divisions. COVID-19 took the 2020 season away from the kids, but more than 1,300 participated in the 2019 season. Play starts in late March and the season ends in late May. Games are mainly played on Saturdays for youths age 4-11 and on Tuesday nights for older age groups.

The cost to play is $37 per player and that covers all expenses, including jerseys and supplemental accident insurance. Registrations will be accepted until 4:30 p.m. Feb. 3 and they can either be mailed or hand-delivered to the Parks and Recreation administration office, 1904 S. Park Road. Registration forms are available at plantcitygov.com/parksrec/page/youth-soccer-league-ages-4-18. Email recinfo@plantcitygov.com or call 813-659-4255 for more information.

Tri-Star basketball competition upcoming

The 48th annual Plant City Optimist Club Tri-Star Basketball Competition is just a few weeks away, so area hoopers age 8-13 should work on their passing, dribbling and shooting now.

The free competition is open to all youths, but those who play in the city’s youth rec league are encouraged to come in uniform. The team with the most competitors in uniform will win a free pizza party.

The competition is typically held at Tomlin Middle School but has moved to the new Sadye Gibbs Martin Community Center, 1601 E. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., for 2021. The competition will start at 9 a.m.

Email recinfo@plantcitygov.com or call 813-659-4255 for more information.
