Saturday Night Lights (SNL) is a free sports program for middle school and high school students. To sign up, please complete a Universal DYCD Application. This gives you access to join Saturday Night Lights, as well as all DYCD-funded programs, such as Beacon and Cornerstone.

There are two ways to sign up—follow the steps below:
New to the SNL program? You’re welcome to join us in person and participate right away on your first visit — no pre-registration required! You’ll just need to fill out a paper DYCD application and return it on your next visit.
Use the map to find a gym near you.
Call the gym to confirm programming hours.
Show up ready to play by wearing comfortable athletic clothing.
Ask for a DYCD application, which you’ll need to complete and return on your next visit to officially join the program.
