Registration Now Underway For Little Athletes Program

Registration for the Town of Queen Creek's Little Athletes 2012 Winter Season is taking place now through March 16, 2012 (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 March 19. Class roster is limited to 12 participants per class. Registration will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, and is available online at queencreek.org, or by visiting the Library Recreation Annex at 21802 S. Ellsworth Road. Fees are $80 for residents and $120 for non-residents.

The six-week program teaches children ages 4-6 the basics of soccer, T-ball and basketball through an interactive approach, creating a positive athletic experience. Sports exercises, drills, and 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.
