Raytown is fortunate to have several not-for-profit organizations providing youth sports for our kids. Because these organizations do such a good job, we choose not to offer competing and/or conflicting programs. We rely on them to run the programs that meet the youth sports needs in our community & they rely on us to provide some of the facilities they need to offer their programs. It’s an efficient relationship that serves our community well & saves lots of tax dollars as a result. The youth sports organizations are: Raytown BMX and Raytown Sports Club.
