Jump Start Sports Programs

The Tallmadge Recreation Department partners with Jump Start Sports to offer a wide variety of youth sports. Jump Start Sports offers safe, well-organized sports programs in an environment that is more focused on fun and learning than on competition. We work with their organization to offer summer camps, preschool sports programs and recreational sports leagues that teach fundamentals, fair play, and teamwork. These programs are creative and age appropriate and considerate of the needs and time constraints of the whole family. For more information on Jump Start Sports, visit the Jump Start Sports website. To register for any of these programs, click the "Register" tab in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

Important Concussion Information


Ohio's "Return to Play" Bill goes into effect April 26, 2013. The bill is designed to increase concussion awareness and recognition in parents, coaches and officials in youth sports programs. All Tallmadge Recreation Department coaches and youth sports leaders will be certified in concussion awareness and recognition. View the Concussion Information for Parents (PDF).

Together, we can help protect children from more serious concussion related problems!
