From the Sports Desk

By Doug Johnson
Program Director

      Fall soccer season is under way and we had our first games this past Saturday.  Our large group of players is mainly under the age of 6, and is having fun while learning to be healthy and work as a team.  We are blessed to have the opportunity to guide these youngsters toward a healthy lifestyle and be a part of their development.

       Registration for flag football and girls’ volleyball opens Sept. 1.  Our hope is that both of these sports will draw many youngsters to learn, compete and generally have fun, the Y way.  Also starting in September is our home school PE class.  We are very excited to have personal trainer, Mandy Andre’, returning to instruct this class for us.  Mandy is planning to have some very new and exciting programs for the home school crowd.  She will be using the same resources that are used in the public school PE classes to plan her curriculum.

      The sports/programming department is heating up.  As the new director, I am very excited and grateful to be a part of this Y and this community.  I look forward to working with all of our wonderful volunteers and to bringing some new ideas, and more important, stability to this department.  Good things are in the works!
