by Kelly Tolbert, Recreation Coordinator, City of Prescott
For the City of Prescott Recreation Services Department to offer premium facilities, as well as a variety of sports, recreation and overall enhanced quality of living, partnerships prove essential.

Fortunately, Prescott’s temperate, arid climate allows sports and outdoor events to fill the community calendar from approximately February to November each year. Traditionally, the city partners with youth sports groups to provide pristine facilities for users, such as American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO), Prescott Youth Football, Prescott Youth Hockey Association, Prescott Little League and Prescott Girls Softball Association (PGSA). Certain adult sports leagues are organized through the City of Prescott’s Recreation Services Department, and other activities rely on independent groups to organize group participation times and even maintenance of facilities.

In addition to organized sports opportunities, Prescott and the surrounding communities offer approximately 95 miles of multi-use trails along with 450 miles of Prescott National Forest trails – perfect for the mountain bike, horseback or hiking enthusiast!

Rock climbers flock to the Granite Dells for popular climbing routes. Visitors and residents can find ample information in local outfitter shops downtown and soon find themselves traversing granite boulders all within minutes of drive time.

Most youth-based organizations listed rely heavily on volunteers to remain successful, so visit each individual group’s website for more information on volunteer opportunities.

Summer sports offerings

City of Prescott Men’s Summer Basketball Leagues can start registering teams in May, and games generally start the first part of July. Teams play approximately six regular season games with a single elimination tournament for the top four finishing teams wrapping up the season. More information can be found at prescott-az.gov/recreation-events/programs-special-events/sports/adult-sports.

City of Prescott Adult Men’s, Women’s & Co-Rec Softball Leagues early registrations are required by the middle of March, with the final deadline the first part of April. Monday through Thursday night leagues play 10 games, with a single elimination, end of season tournament, for the top-four finishing teams. All games are played at Pioneer Park, and are subject to inclement weather. Friday night leagues usually play eight games plus a single elimination, end of season, tournament for the top four finishing teams. More information and updates can be found here: www.prescott-az.gov/recreation-events/programs-special-events/sports/adult-sports.

Fall sports offerings

American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO Region No. 172), a nonprofit agency led by volunteers, conducts two seasons each year, known as primary and secondary seasons. Primary season practices take place at Pioneer Park and Heritage Park with practices beginning in late August and games beginning in early September. Games are held on Saturdays for 10 weeks at Pioneer Park. Registration is open to ages 4-18, and starts as early as late May each year. To register a participant, or for more information, visit prescottsoccer.net. Early registrations are encouraged and rewarded with graduated increases in fees as the season gets closer.

City of Prescott Adult Men’s, Women’s & Co-Rec Volleyball Leagues’ early registrations are required by the first week in August with the final deadline later in the month. Leagues usually play nine weekly matches plus a single elimination, end of season tournament, for the top four finishing teams. More information and updates can be found at prescott-az.gov/recreation-events/programs-special-events/sports/adult-sports.

Prescott Youth Football, an affiliate of Alliance Youth Football League, works with the Prescott High School football program to provide training and guidance that aligns with the guidelines that varsity teams promote. Registration begins in late May and is open to participants in grades 1-8. Practices take place at Pioneer Park, with games varying at the rivaling schools. The season kicks off with an Alliance Youth Football Jamboree at Pioneer Park (Aug. 18 and 19). For more information or to register a participant visit prescottyouthfootball.webs.com.

Prescott Youth Hockey Association (PYHA) operates both adult and youth hockey leagues while offering a unique playing structure ensuring each player gets equal play time while implementing healthy competition. The fall season runs August through October, and spring season is March through May each year. Players are encouraged to register via prescottyouthhockey.com, and after two open practices, a draft is conducted to place players of all skill levels on appropriate teams. More information including open hockey schedules can also be found on the website.

Winter sports offerings

City of Prescott Men’s Winter Basketball Leagues can start registering teams in November, and games generally start the first part of January. Teams play approximately eight regular season games with a single-elimination tournament for the top-four finishing teams wrapping up the season. More information can be found at prescott-az.gov/recreation-events/programs-special-events/sports/adult-sports.

LOCAL NEWS: The Northern Arizona VA in Prescott has provided an update on their Homeless Veteran Program. . . .PRESCOTT, Ariz. – The Northern Arizona VA Health Care System’s Homeless Veteran Program, along with its community partners, housed 445 Veterans in 2022, exceeding their target goal by 157%.Nationally, the 2022 goal was to house 38,000 homeless Veterans— a goal that was exceeded by 6.3%. The Department of Veterans Affairs remains committed to ending Veteran homelessness and increasing housing placements is critical to achieving this goal.“This success is a result of efforts built on the evidence-based ‘Housing First’ approach, which prioritizes getting a Veteran into housing, then provides the Veteran with the support they need to stay housed,” said Steve Sample, Medical Center Director.In Northern Arizona, there are a variety of services designed to house homeless Veterans. The VA’s Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) Program includes VA Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) vouchers that provide formerly homeless Veterans with subsidized housing and a wraparound, interdisciplinary case management team to address issues that may have contributed to homelessness. The program provides justice outreach services, employment services, health care services through the Homeless Patient Aligned Care Team, outreach, and transitional housing support. The VA also works closely with community partners to house homeless Veterans through a system called Coordinated Entry, where community agencies along with the VA regularly meet to coordinate efforts and ensure homeless Veterans do not fall through the cracks.“We are fortunate that there is so much support for helping homeless Veterans in our area,” said Jessica Taylor, Homeless Program Coordinator for the Northern Arizona VA. “This success could not have been possible without great collaboration between our community partners, Housing Authorities, Tribal partnerships, and support from our local communities.”Looking ahead, the VA will continue to explore new avenues to house homeless Veterans and overcome housing barriers. In collaboration with U.S VETS, Gorman & Company, and the Arizona Department of Housing, a supportive housing project on the grounds of the VA’s Fort Whipple campus is in the initial planning stages. The VA is also expanding outreach to ensure that homeless Veterans are aware of services available to them. For Veterans who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness— or if you know of homeless Veterans in need of assistance, call 877-424-3838.For more information on renting to or hiring homeless Veterans, visit: www.va.gov/homelessAbout the Northern Arizona VA: Through its main campus in Prescott, along with Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs) in Cottonwood, Flagstaff, Kingman, Lake Havasu City, and Anthem— with additional clinics in Tuba City, Page, Kayenta, Chinle, Holbrook, and Polacca, the Northern Arizona VA provides services to approximately 33,000 Veterans over a catchment area of more than 65,000 square miles.. . .www.facebook.com/VAPrescott ...
