Program Highlights Continued • ADULT Fitness (Wellness) Programs: We are trying to be on top of the current fitness trends. 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 pass allows participants to pick and choose the classes they would like to attend. The yoga classes that were newly added this winter have been a big hit with the participants. A new cardio kick boxing class will be added this spring. Team Go -Rec Volleyball: Our volleyball program continues to improve. We have several returning teams from past years. It is our hope to increase participation numbers in the future. Open Volleyball: This program allows persons to participate in a volleyball program that does not demand a steady commitment. This winter we are offering two separate programs: power volleyball for the more skilled players and recreational volleyball for the up and coming volleyball players. Both programs are held on Friday evenings. Attendance has been strong in both programs. Adult Team Basketball: The season is winding down. With only a couple of weeks left in the season, teams will be participating in a playoff. Due to the large number of teams that participate in this program, we are unable to increase participation. At this point, gym space is a premuim and the youth programs also need indoor space. Open Basketball: Attendance in this program is the largest that it has been in some time. The move to •ondaM ys does not interfere with our Wednesday Basketball program. Indoor Soccer: We are currently accepting registrations for this program. Last season, 18 teams registered for- this program. I am optimistic that we can rise above that number this year. The total number of teams that we can accommodate is 20. Adult Softball: The registration period for returning teams is open. It is anticipated that all of our leagues will fill up. We can accommodate 64 teams in five different leagues. MISCELLANEOUS NOTES Warminghouse Shelters: We opened shelters on December 28, 1999 and closed for the season on Monday, February 22. For- the third year in a row, the unusual temperatures played a major factor in the number of days we were open and the attendance at the rinks. A complete annual report will be at a future Park Board meeting. The Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department is currently seeking individuals to fill a variety of summer positions. For- more information about these positions, please call the Parks and Recreation Department at 0051- 982 -2440. The spring activities guide is currently being printed and will be mailed out the last week in February. iruestions?? Please feel free to contact Liz Bur-sack or Barry Bernstein at 651- 982 -2440.
