Youth Fall Basketball is back! 🏀

Our youth basketball programs give players the opportunity to learn and strengthen fundamental skills while gaining a better understanding of the game. Participants will work on basketball fundamentals, game concepts, teamwork, and sportsmanship through instruction, skill development, and game play.

For those participating in our recreational league, players will be evaluated and placed on teams, with weekly practices and Saturday games throughout the season.

Whether your child is still learning the basics or ready for league play, our programs are designed to help them continue developing their skills and experience on the court. Register online at bit.ly/fallyouthbball

Your four-legged friends can splash, swim and enjoy the pool in unheated, unchlorinated water while you connect with some great local pet organizations and businesses. Please remember, only dogs are permitted in the water for safety reasons.

Stay active, build strength, and keep moving with Silver Sneakers!

With Classic, Yoga, and Circuit, there’s something for a variety of fitness levels and goals. Classic focuses on strength and range of motion for everyday activities, Yoga helps improve flexibility and balance through seated and standing poses, and Circuit combines upper-body strength with low-impact cardio for a well-rounded workout. Chairs and other equipment are incorporated to provide support and options along the way.

All classes are held at the Stephanie Tubbs Jones Community Building. Come move with us, feel your best, and enjoy staying active in a welcoming group setting!
