Sports & Recreation

Research shows that participating in youth sports can lead to immediate and long-term benefits for youth, their families, and communities. Sports participation benefits the physical health of youth, as well as their mental, emotional, and social health. BRAYN aims to connect families to Sports & Recreation programs in their zipcode!

Every Friday from 4:15 to 6:00PM we embark on a bike field trip.

All participants are required to wear helmets and know the rules of the road.
