Get your team together: Clarington Sports Leagues launch this fall ⚽
A new way to play is coming to Clarington.
This fall, the Municipality is launching Clarington Sports Leagues (CSL), a new way for residents to enjoy organized sports close to home. The inaugural season features an Adult Co-ed Indoor Soccer League (18+) at the South Bowmanville Recreation Centre's new FIFA-sized multi-sport dome, delivered in partnership with Darlington Soccer Club.
Adult co-ed soccer is just the beginning. As CSL grows, additional opportunities for different sports, age groups and interests will be explored. Have an idea for a future league? We'd love to hear it. Email your suggestions to leagues@clarington.net.

You asked for sports leagues. We listened.
When we asked residents what recreation opportunities they wanted to see at the new South Bowmanville Recreation Centre, more than 1,400 people shared their ideas through last year’s programming survey. Sports leagues were among the most requested offerings, helping shape the launch of Clarington Sports Leagues.
The feedback continues to help guide recreation planning across Clarington. As CSL grows, additional league opportunities for different sports, age groups and interests will be explored based on community interest and available resources.
