involved in activities like youth sports have the opportunity to make
friends, have fun, get active and discover who they are and what they can
achieve,” said Sports Director Kyle Jeffers. “Our youth sports program is
designed to help your child learn, grow and thrive in a safe, nurturing
environment.”

Kids will learn the
basic skills of soccer such as passing, dribbling, scoring and blocking
goals. They’ll learn to build self-esteem and confidence in the fundamentals
of soccer.
Also available for
preschool kids is the Preschool Flag Football Sports Academy, designed to
help young flag football enthusiasts understand the basics of the game.
They’ll learn how to catch, pass and run with a football. As they master
flag football skills, they’ll also develop self-esteem and leadership skills
while working as a team. Preschool flag football meets on Saturdays at 1:00
p.m. from September 19 through October 31. Registration is limited to 10
children per hour. Hourly sessions will be available.

option is $40 for members & $80 for non-members. Multiple child or multiple
