Golf, tennis, swimming and more are part of the summer recreational offerings. And recreational teams abound for soccer, baseball, softball, volleyball, bowling and other sports. The city's Parks and Recreation Department offers a variety of team opportunities and lessons, and private facilities also have league and learning opportunities. Competitive sports are also offered in the public schools and on the college level. Track, tennis, golf, gymnastics, basketball, softball, cross-country running, football and more are part of the public school offerings.
Kids can be part of a team or just cheer on their schools.
Many families build outings around the games for junior-high teams or those at one of the city's four high schools. Or take in a college game. Both Rocky Mountain College and Montana State University-Billings have men's and women's basketball teams, with home games played in their campus gyms. Rocky also has football, with home games in the field at 17th Street West and Poly Drive. In fall through spring, the Billings Bulls hockey team takes to the ice at MetraPark.
