  • Chesapeake Parks, Recreation and Tourism's Athletic Doctrine
    CHESAPEAKE PARKS, RECREATION AND TOURISM’S ATHLETIC DOCTRINE I. TO PROMOTE SPORT PROGRAMS THAT ARE SAFE, FUN AND ENJOYABLE. Competition encourages cooperation, self-discipline, and motivation while enhancing the development of life-long traits. Remember, that competition is a process and not a product. The score is a product of competition. Therefore, our athletic leagues will strive towards the process instead of the product. II. TO PROMOTE PHYSICAL FITNESS THROUGH SPORTS. Exercise allows the body to develop in the manner for which it was designed. III. TO PROMOTE RESPECT OF ONE'S SELF AND OTHERS THROUGH GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP by emphasizing the development of cooperation and respectful behavior toward teammates, opponents, referees, and coaches. Also, coaches should help each child feel good about him/herself. IV. TO PROMOTE RESPONSIBILITY IN ONE'S SELF THROUGH ENCOURAGED PARTICIPATION and emphasizing that one's effort is more important than the final score. V. TO PROMOTE THE TEACHING SPORTS FUNDAMENTALS which are essential to enjoy the game. Coaches should develop each child's skills and abilities to the fullest potential. VI. TO PROMOTE SPORTS EDUCATION AND CERTIFICATION FOR ALL VOLUNTEER COACHES. Qualified adult leadership is necessary for positive growth and human development. NEW RULES ARE IDENTIFIABLE BY BOLD TYPE 2 GENERAL YOUTH RULES I. RECREATION LEAGUES A. General Purpose 1. To inspire the youth and adults of our city to take part in the programs sponsored by the City of Chesapeake Parks, Recreation and Tourism Department. 2. To bring the citizens closer together through a common interest in sportsmanship, fellowship, and athletic competition. 3. To encourage adults to set a good example when supervising the youth of our city, and to keep the welfare of youth foremost in mind.

  • Berthoud Park and Recreation Policies and Procedures
    Berthoud Park and Recreation Policies and Procedures The following Parks and Recreation Policies and Procedures are implemented to help the Parks and Recreation staff formulate a well-organized, fair and fun recreational environment for all to enjoy. 1. Registration will be open to the public for a one month period. 2. All activity registrations will be based on age with the exception of Youth Basketball, grades will be used. The age cutoff is the age of the participant on the first program start date. For leagues this would be the first possible practice date. For instructional programs, this will be the first date the program meets. 3. Documentation for proof of age and grade level may be requested at any time. 4. Deadlines will be strictly enforced to ensure management efficiency, safety and quality of the programs. 5. Space is limited! Not everyone is guaranteed a spot in the program so register early. 6. No team registrations! Parks and Recreation only accepts individual registrations on a first come first serve basis. 7. If there are not enough numbers for certain age groups, the recreation department may choose to combine age groups. Leagues may be combined based on a 2 year differential to ensure safety and quality of programs. 8. The Recreation Department cannot guarantee a program will run until registration has ended and participant levels have been determined. 9. Based on registration numbers, participants may not be able to participate in the program in which they are registered. 10. After the registration deadline, late registrations will be taken only if there are spots available.

    Running head: POSTFEMINISM AND FEMALE FRIENDSHIP Postfeminism and female friendship: A content analysis of Parks and Recreation and Girls by Ashley Beairsto A Thesis Submitted to Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, Nova Scotia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Women and Gender Studies. September, 2019, Halifax, Nova Scotia © Ashley Beairsto, 2019 Approved: Dr. Marnina Gonick Supervisor Approved: Dr. Michele Byers Reader Approved: Dr. Sailaja Krishnamurti External Date: September 20, 2019 POSTFEMINISM AND FEMALE FRIENDSHIP 2 Postfeminism and female friendship: A content analysis of Parks and Recreation and Girls by Ashley Beairsto Abstract This thesis explores how two popular TV shows, Girls and Parks and Recreation, portray and talk about female friendship, particularly as it relates to the notion of the postfeminist girlfriend as proposed by Alison Winch. Utilizing a combination of content analysis and critical discourse analysis, it explores how these shows draw on discourses of feminism and postfeminism. It finds that Girls more than Parks and Recreation relies on discourses of postfeminism and replicates behaviors of the postfeminist girlfriend. It finds that both shows struggle to address issues of class difference and are guilty of post-race sentiments. Finally, it finds that Parks and Rec, more than Girls, reiterates feminist sentiments. Parks gives an overall feminist sentiment, while Girls walks the line between feminism and postfeminism. September 20, 2019 POSTFEMINISM AND FEMALE FRIENDSHIP 3 Acknowledgements The completion of this thesis could not have been possible without the support and assistance of so many. To my supervisor, Dr. Marnina Gonick, for providing ongoing support.
