HGRA creates community through sports. It’s our mission to create low-stress, low-cost, sports programming for the Highland Park and surrounding twin cities communities that are not only beneficial to our athletes but the entire family.

Our sports programs are player-centric and focused on creating a fun and relaxed environment for our athletes and their families.
