Registration Now Being Accepted For Queen Creek's Little Athletes Program

Registration for the Town of Queen Creek's Little Athletes 2012 winter season begins Nov. 14 and runs through Jan. 6 or until filled. Two sessions (Session I: 5-6 p.m., Session II: 6-7 p.m.) will be offered on Mondays and Wednesdays beginning Jan. 9. Class roster is limited to 12 participants per class, and registration will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis at the Library Recreation Annex, 21802 S. Ellsworth Road, or online at www.queencreek.org. Fees are $80 for residents and $120 for non-residents.

The six-week program offers children ages 4-6 the basics of soccer, T-ball and basketball through an interactive approach to create a positive athletic experience. Sports exercises, drills, and high- and low-keyed games will be taught in a noncompetitive, fun atmosphere.

Participants are encouraged to bring bottled water. Whenever sessions are held outside, participants are also encouraged to bring warm, comfortable apparel such as sweat pants and a jacket. Although equipment such as soccer balls, gloves and basketballs will be provided, participants are highly encouraged to bring their own for better size/fit. Open-toe shoes and cleats are not allowed.
