ADULT SPORTS FAQ's 1. What Are the Age Requirements for Participation in Adult Sports Programs? ADULT SPORTS FAQ’s 1. What are the age requirements for participation in Adult Sports programs? Volleyball participants must be at least 16 years of age during the season in order to be eligible. Basketball, Dodgeball, Flag-Football, and Softball participants must be at least 18 years of age during the season in order to be eligible. The age difference in adult sports programs is due to the potential level of physical contact during league play. 2. Are uniforms required in team sports participation? Team uniforms are not required for our volleyball or softball leagues. Basketball, Dodgeball, and Flag-Football teams, however, must wear same color shirts with permanent numbers placed on the back. All teams provide their own equipment. Game balls are provided only in the softball program. 3. Why are the fees so high for the adult leagues? League fees are used to pay for scorekeepers, staffing, facility maintenance and equipment. Awards are also given to the top two teams in each division. Compared to other communities, our fees are still considerably affordable. YOUTH SPORTS FAQ’s 1. What are the age requirements for participation in Youth Sports programs? Children learn at various stages and must learn all the skills necessary before advancing to a higher level. It is recommended that participants sign up according to the grade or age limit assigned to a particular program. The Instructor may then recommend a participant to be moved to a more advanced level if the participant is physically and cognitively ready. 2. My child will meet the proper age limit in a couple of months. Can he/she still sign up for the class/program? Participants will be allowed to participate only if they meet the age requirement at any time while the program/class/league is in session. 3. How do I apply for the Scholarships? What kind of income bracket do I need to be in to qualify? Individuals seeking financial assistance must request a “Recreation Grant Application” form available at the Recreation and Parks Department Administrative office. To determine eligibility, parent/guardian must provide a copy of the most recent taxes (1040 or W2), last two pay stubs and/or copies of financial assistance as applicable (SSI, AFDC, etc.) 4. What do I wear? It is recommended that participants wear comfortable physical education clothing such as shorts, sweats, t-shirts, and tennis shoes. A water bottle is also recommended. Jewelry should not be worn during class time in order to prevent lost valuables. 5. What kind of equipment do I need to bring? The department provides all the necessary equipment for youth sports participation. If participants decide to bring their own equipment to class, items should be labeled with the owner’s name. .

  • Wilson Ball Cleaning Recommendations
    What chemicals can clean our game balls without altering performance? Our primary recommendation is to follow CDC, state and local guidelines for health and safety. The following widely accepted definitions are relevant to composite leather, PU leather, and leather game ball care (CDC reference): There are several different methods for sanitizing and disinfecting composite leather, PU leather, and leather game product. Each customer should utilize the method that fits their health and safety protocols and the playing environment and timing needs. Simple Game Ball Cleaning Method To clean the ball, players may wish to use dish soap and water. While this practice may be likened to hand washing, note that all soap residue must be rinsed away and that drying time on each ball product may vary. An example cleaning regimen with soap and water includes: 1. Add 1 tablespoon of mild dish soap into a 1-gallon container. 2. Fill bucket with warm water, until a soapy mixture is formed. 3. Wet a first towel with the solution, wring out excess water, and gently wipe down entire product surface for at least 30 seconds. 4. Re-wet towel with plain warm water, wring out excess water, and wipe off excess soap from ball surface. 5. Rub a second, dry towel on the surface to wipe and dry off. 6. Let product air out overnight. Quick Turn Leather Game Ball Cleaning Method To clean the ball with faster turnaround times, we reference the following recommendations. The CDC released a list (referred to as ‘List N’) of effective disinfectants for disabling SARS-CoV-2 (i.e., the virus that causes Covid-19 disease) on hard, nonporous surfaces.

  • Here Are Some Easy Starter Tips for Teaching the Game of Tchoukball to Your PE Students
    Here are some easy starter tips for teaching the game of Tchoukball to your PE students • Don’t tell them they can score at either rebounder. At first tell your teams they can only score at the opposite end. This will get them used to moving the ball up and down the court. You can add the both frame rule down the road. • Remember the rules of 3: 3 sec to hold the ball, only three steps, and when you are attacking both ends you cannot throw at the same rebounder after 3 trys. • When there is a change of possession make sure there is a “reset” by the new team. A reset is done by touching the ball to the floor with both hands on the ball. This can be done anywhere; it does not have to be at the goal line. • Don’t allow students to guard, intercept or even get in the way of a student who is trying to throw or catch a ball. No blocking out, screening, standing in the way of the rebounder is allowed. The team without the ball actually must make a concentrated effort to stay out of the way of the offensive team. • Once the ball leaves the hand of the team trying to score, they must now make sure they are not interfering with the other team trying to catch their ball. Any interference here is a foul and loss of possession/no score. • Small sided games are the best….3-5 players on a team. You can have a third team rotate in after a score.

  • Rugby Sevens
    DISCOVER YOUR GOLD: RUGBY SEVENS What is Rugby Sevens? Rugby Sevens is played under similar laws to rugby union and is played on a full size pitch by teams of seven players rather than fifteen. The game is shorter in duration, with each half lasting seven minutes during the pool stages of a tournament, and increasing to ten for the final. Because Rugby Sevens is played on a full size pitch, players need to be able to cover a lot of ground during a match. This means that participants need to be incredibly fit and have plenty of speed, skill and stamina. The basics of Rugby - running, passing, tackling and decision-making - are key components of Rugby Sevens, as are creating space and keeping possession of the ball. Rugby Sevens made its eagerly awaited debut in the Summer Olympics in Rio 2016 with the GB Women’s team finishing fourth and the GB Men’s team winning a silver medal. Who are we looking for? Perhaps you are a sprinter or play another team sport such as netball, basketball or volleyball – Rugby Sevens suits athletes who are quick, have good hand-eye coordination and enjoy being part of a team. The key sign-up criteria for #DiscoverYour Gold is outlined below: What if I am younger or older than what you are looking for? If you are 15 or 16 years old then we would encourage you to join your local rugby sevens club. You can find out all about your nearest club by visiting http://www.englandrugby.com/my-rugby/find-rugby/ If you are over 24 years old but have competed internationally in your sport and believe that you have the ability to transfer quickly into the sport of rugby sevens then please contact us on … Campaign graduate … Deborah’s story … Name: Deborah Fleming DOB/ Age: 26y Hometown: Penzance, Cornwall Campaign: Power2Podium 2011 Previous sport: National level sprinter and regional netball player Career Highlight: Represented England in the Rugby World Sevens Series in 2016/17 Twitter: @DeborahF91 .

  • Fair Play the Story of Rugby at the Olympics the Rugby and Olympic Values
    Fair Play The Story of Rugby at the Olympics The Rugby and Olympic values Which Rugby and Olympic values are the same or similar? Is Rugby a good fit with the Olympics? Did you know Rugby has been at five Olympics? Rugby at the 1900 Olympics in Paris Three teams competed in the Rugby tournament. A French representative team defeated a team from the German city of Frankfurt and Moseley Wanderers from England. The Moseley team had played a full game of Rugby in England the day before they made the journey to Paris. They arrived in the morning, played the match in the afternoon and were back in their home country by the next morning. The proposed game between the British and German sides was cancelled and both are credited as silver medalists. The Franco-Haitian centre Constantin Henriquez de Zubiera became the first black gold medalist. Three months earlier he had competed in the tug of war. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1900_Summer_Olympics Rugby at the 1908 Olympics in London The host Great Britain was represented by Cornwall, the 1908 county champion. Defending Olympic champions France withdrew, leaving Australasia, represented by the Australia national Rugby union team as the only other remaining entrant. The interest in the Olympic Rugby final was only lukewarm with the final being held in the last week of Games that had taken place over six months. In 1908 Twickenham Stadium was still being built. The match was played at the White City Stadium, London, on an area alongside the Olympic Games swimming pool which measured 110 yards in length with a long line of netting stretched beside to catch flying balls.
