Program Overview

The Recreation program strives to provide Muckleshoot youth ages 5-17, who are enrolled in school, opportunities to help learn fundamental sports skills and strategies, and experience an array of recreational activities in a fun, safe, and drug-, tobacco-, and alcohol-free environment.

We consider Recreation to be an entry level program; we participate in local city leagues such as Auburn Parks and Recreation, and Enumclaw Parks which focus more on the fundamentals and encourages participation. The MIT Recreation program has been a longtime participant of the Inter-Tribal Youth Basketball League where we travel to the south end reservations to play games, meet new athletes, and build positive relationships.

*Note: some services may have been affected due to the pandemic.
