Fall Sports Are Here: Staying Active & Having Fun With Your Community

Although summer is still raging on, now is the time to plan for the upcoming fall season, from trips to sports leagues and volunteering to school. Making sure you’re aware of deadlines and what fall activities you want to partake in ahead of time can lessen your stress and make your experience better. Fall activities in Las Vegas specifically are still often outside thanks to the climate, making it a great time for getting in those last sunlight hours before Daylight Savings. See what community activities you and your family can get involved in this fall below!

Adult & Youth Sports in Las Vegas

Across Las Vegas and the surrounding areas, there are a variety of sports leagues that can be joined, a great way to combine community and exercise. The city of Las Vegas even has a page on their website dedicated to Youth Sports Leagues, making it easy to find the sport your child is interested in or wants to try for the first time. Fall sports typically include volleyball, field hockey, golf, and cross country, among others. Looking at fall volleyball leagues, for you or a child, is a great way to meet people in your community, often for little to no cost. 

Staying active as the season changes can also prove to be difficult–but having your own team and sport to look forward to can help. Seasonal Affective Disorder also is usually seen in the fall and winter, so keeping yourself connected to friends and family through something like an adult field hockey league can be beneficial. Check out adult sports opportunities through the city and sign up before the deadlines to take part. 

Whether you’re looking to find youth sports near you or find adult leagues, there are many opportunities to make connections in your community through these fall activities. Consider looking into if your church or school also has sports programs to build upon connections you are already fostering!

Informal Sports to Implement in Your Fall Activities Plans

Another way to stay active and appreciate the temperate weather is to go for hikes or find parks in Las Vegas and the surrounding areas. Most national parks are free to enter and offer hikes led by park employees or have groups that hike together. You and friends or family can try out a new spot you’ve never seen before and enjoy the nice weather. Check out Red Rock Canyon Overlook, Valley of Fire, or Taylor Creek for a fun, active day with gorgeous scenery. 

Fall Volunteer Opportunities 

Another option for getting to know your community and offer them support this fall is to volunteer. Holding a food drive, making a donation, or volunteering your time are all appreciated ways you can help your community this season. Consider getting involved with Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada to take part in our ministry efforts and philanthropy initiatives like Feed Vegas. 

Have fun, meet new people, and support your community through fun fall activities, from sports to volunteering this season!
