A few years ago we introduced this program for two sports - Flag Football and Baseball. This year we have added Basketball. Tiny Tots is a program through the Start Smart Program created by the National Alliance for Youth Sports. It is a step-by-step approach that builds confidence and self-esteem, as well as making sports fun for children ages 3-4.
Our Leisure Guide explains most of our ongoing Senior Programs, but the best way to find out what is going on in our Senior Department is to drop by the Phil Hudson Room on the north end of the Community Center to find out first hand what we have to offer local seniors. A variety of trips, including cruises, are planned on a regular basis.
