Community Sports Organizations
Sports participation plays an important role in the growth and development of children and the Glenview Park District works to provide as wide a range of youth sports programs as possible to our community. Park District sports offerings are listed under the Youth Sports Leagues and Youth Sports Programs headings above.

Glenview Blades Organization
The Glenview Blades Organization consists of family members who support the Glenview Ice Center's synchronized skating teams: Mini Blades, a Junior Youth formation team, made up of 12-20 skaters mainly ages 8 years or younger skating at Beta level and up; the Stellar Blades, a Youth formation team, which is made up of 15-20 skaters with most skaters ages 9-11 years skating at Freestyle 1 level and up; and the Junior Blades, a Youth skating team, made up of 15-20 skaters with most skaters between the ages of 9 and 11 skating at a level of Freestyle 4 or higher. The success of the Synchro teams is due in large part to the efforts of these team families who volunteer at various functions throughout the year. The bulk of their volunteer efforts are geared towards fundraising to help defray team costs of items such as costumes, tights, t-shirts, team jackets, team dinners, competition entry fees and more.
