Lino Lates 'Parts and Recreation Department program Hi9h1i9hts - May part hoard Update Youth Youth Instructional: Our spring youth instructional programs have now concluded. Summer Playground Program: This program is extremely popular this summer. Four of our seven sites are already full and we still have three weeks until the program starts. The program will begin this year on June 21. Options: Currently 46 participants are enrolled in our Options program, which will be held at Blue Heron Elementary School this summer. This is about ten less participants than last summer. Next year we may need to reevaluate the Options program as a collaborative with the YMCA and the school district, as the school district will be responsible for the operation of Kids Club starting fall 2004. T -ball: Once again this program is very popular - several sessions are already filled. Additional sessions will only be offered if there are fields available. Start Smart T -ball for 3- year -olds is full with a waiting list. Tennis Lessons: After last season, we revised the tennis schedule in attempt to accommodate more participation. With the new schedule, we are able to offer several different classes at the same time. Fall Soccer: Registration has just begun for this program. We hope to accommodate 600 children this year. New for season, all participants will be receiving their own soccer ball supplied by the Parks and Recreation Department. Tackle Football: Registration has begun for this program. It is anticipated that we will receive 350 participants in this program. MUlt Community Outings: Our Springtime in New Ulm trip was held on May 26. Our next trip, Amish of Augusta, will be on June 24. Slow Pitch Softball: The summer program is filled with 12 Co -Rec teams and 36 Men's teams. This is the most we can accommodate with the fields and schedule available. We reduced the number of teams this year due to rescheduling Rice Lake #3 for youth baseball. Adult Golf: The lessons that are usually filled by this time still have openings. This program is very weather related. We feel the unseasonably low temperatures and plentiful rainfall over the past several weeks have hurt registration. General Interest Recreation Review: Our summer edition of the Recreation Review went out the last week of this month to all homes and is also on our web site: www.ci.lino- lakes.mn.us. Employment: Our summer hiring has concluded. We received over 60 applications this Or for summer positions - a great response! Centennial Middle School Soccer Field #8: This field has been closed until further notice due to excessive moisture and overall poor field conditions. Questions?
