participants. Currently, we have filled all five sessions. We have added an additional session. 5/6—Year Old T—Ball This T—Ball program is not like any other offered in the area. Participants are not separated onto teams and play on one field. Participants are taught in the fundamentals of baseball with minimal competition. Due to the past popularity of this program, we have added additional sessions for this year. We have filled all the evening sessions and close to filling one daytime session. 7/8 Intermediate Baseball This program is intended for the young ballplayer who may not be quite ready for the competitive level of some of the local athletic associations. This program was offered for the first time last summer and three teams were put together. Unfortunately, we did not receive enough registration numbers to support this program. It was decided to cancel this program early to allow the participants to find another program. 7— 10 year old Girls Slow Pitch Softball League This new program is designed and developed for the young athlete who is not quite ready to participate in a fast pitch softball program. It will be operated much like our 7/8 Intermediate Baseball program,but will have softball umpires. This program also was eliminated due to the registration numbers. Double Play Baseball Camp This program was offered for the first time last summer. It is a perfect alternative to the high priced baseball camps. The local high school coaches instruct this program. Registration will pick up later this spring. Dance Class: The Department has contracted out a dance studio for instructors of this program. The relationship has worked well. The spring session will see improvements to the course description and program content. Softball Pitching Clinic: Due to this programs popularity a spring session has been added. The instructor is outstanding and the participants are responding to her teaching techniques. Adult Programs: Aerobics (wellness) programs: We are always trying to be on top of the current trends in the fitness arena. The several class offerings have been a staple with this department for a long time. With the addition of a season pass, registration has increased. The season pass allows a participant to pick and choose the classes they would like to attend.
