Every day of the week from August 24-October 17, the Auxiliary fields will have a flag football, soccer, baseball, softball, or sand volleyball game/practice going on. City Park has baseball and softball practices booked Mon-Fri, with 5 tournaments in the books so far. Programs Flag football, volleyball, and a variety of other youth programs for pre-k and kindergarten age groups have started. Registration numbers are higher this fall than last year, with a few slight shifts. We have 18% decrease in participation in football compared to last year, but our youth volleyball program is having a 70% increase. We’re utilizing gym space at the Middle School, and trying to really work on our communication to limit any issues. So far, we’ve had a great start to the season. Events No major upcoming events, but we’re discussing plans for a fall festival/improvements to the Halloween hike event. We have 5 baseball tournaments in the books. Sunday afternoons at City Park and the Auxiliary Fields will be very busy. Recreation Center Staffing We’re beginning to post part-time and seasonal jobs for the Recreation Center. The plan is to start interviews in September, and hopefully begin training in October and November. 1
