Registration for the 2024 Summer Sports Centers at Franklin Park, Ronan Park, Garvey Playground, and Hunt-Almont Park in Mattapan will open on Feb. 1, the Department of Parks and Recreation announced Tuesday.

The Summer Sports Center program offers free instruction for Boston children ages 7-14 in a variety of popular sports. Kids can be signed up for just one week of instruction or from July 8 to Aug. 16.

The aim of the program is to provide sports instruction to kids who otherwise may face cost barriers to participation, and can benefit parents searching for affordable childcare options during the summer.

Those interested in participating can visit boston.gov/sports to register.
