For those not familiar with our offerings we have: Spring Wissle league Soccer, Tennis Clinics, Football, Cheerleading, Fall Soccer, Field Hockey and Field Hockey Clinics, and Basketball.

So what’s new? We are evaluating the Sports Programs offered and possibly expanding them; we are looking at our Parks/fields and mapping their future; we launched a Facebook page; and we are in the process of posting handbooks with information and guidelines for each of our current sports programs and clinics.

Before moving forward too fast though we would love to hear from you! We have a survey about our Parks and Programs and would love if you could answer a few questions by visiting: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GF2JTJY. Your input is truly valuable in helping us to focus our resources on what’s most important.

We also need as many volunteers as possible and are hoping to have you join in to make all of our programs successful. All of our programs are run by volunteers and without you we cannot exist! We need coaches, team moms, fundraising support, and so much more. Support our community and our children by becoming involved. Your involvement is critical to the desire to improve and expand. And we can’t forget to send a big thank you to the many already dedicated volunteers that have served our programs for so many years!!!

How do you start to get involved? Contact us via email (addresses are below), visit our Facebook page and website to hear our new updates, and come attend our monthly meetings! There is so much being offered and we look forward to what is to come in the future with your help!

Don’t forget to join us on June 21st for our Second Annual Community Day! There will be lots of food, local vendors, and giveaways, fun activities for the children, music, and even a pie baking contest. It’s a great day and we hope to see you all there!
