Athletic Programs

United Boys & Girls Clubs offer a variety of activities & sports for kids to participate.

We also have daily activities in the gyms such as: Dodgeball, Baseball, Flag Football, Basketball, Over the Line, Steal the Bacon, Tug-a-War, Soccer, and much more. These games are organized by our staff and we encourage the entire club to participate in the games, so each kid has some exercise for the day. In all of our sport programs, we strive to teach our youth that school work comes first, and that they need to take school seriously. Behavior is just as important as school to us, because when you wear the United Boys & Girls Clubs uniform, you represent all of Santa Barbara County.
