The Ottawa City Recreation Department will sponsor several adult sports leagues this fall.
It will conduct a fall disc golf league that will run Saturdays from Aug. 27 through Oct. 29 at Fox River Park. There is a $90 fee that covers all nine league rounds and tournament play. Each player will receive a player pack consisting of a disc, Dri-Fit T-shirt and a bag tag.
Players will check in each Saturday from 8:30-9 a.m., attend a player meeting from 9-9:10 a.m. then tee off at 9:15 a.m. The rounds should be completed by noon.
Interested parties can sign up online at www.ottawarecreation.org or in person Aug. 26 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the City Rec office in the basement of City Hall.
There also will be a fall flag football league that will play each Sunday at Lincoln Douglass Park until the league is completed. There is a six-team maximum on teams allowed.
Participants can sign up online at www.ottawarecreation.org or in person from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Sept. 7 at the City Hall recreation office.
