Recreational Sports

From softball tournaments to team sponsorships and open gym sessions to pool hours, WCHS provides a variety of recreational sports opportunities for individuals and teams alike. Recreational sports are designed for enjoyment and leisure rather than competition, offering a fun way to stay active and connect with others. Whether you're looking to join a game, work out independently, or bring friends along, you’ll find plenty of options at Whirling Thunder, Land of Wellness, and other locations in Winnebago throughout the year.
