The Confluence offers a variety of sports programs throughout the year. Utilize the links above for more information on our programs including scheduling and directions to practice sites. We welcome people of all ages.

Basketball meets weekly from October through March and welcomes all ages and abilities. Players ready and willing to participate in competition are offered the chance to play with Confluence Center Coast. We have an adult and a junior team and offer three to five weekends of competition for each team. Both teams are members of a conference.

Our Recreation program reaches out to individuals in rural areas, particularly Southern Illinois. Sports clinics are offered on a designated Saturday at different locations. Clinics have been held in Centralia, Mt. Vernon, and Herrin, IL.

The Softball season begins in April and ends in August. Practices are held at Spirit Field in St. Louis County Park at Spanish Lake. Spirit Field is a wheelchair softball diamond that was donated to the community by Cardinals Care.

Tennis practices once a week year round at a variety of facilities.  All ages and abilities are welcome. Check the calendar for the schedule.

Track & Field and Road Racing will begin this spring. Dates and locations to be determined.

Volleyball is a new program to The Confluence. Director Jim Dugan has represented the United States at two Paralympics as a member of the United States Sit Volleyball Team. In an effort to build the sport nationally, The Confluence will be organizing occasional clinics.
