Key to the Arlington Heights Park District’s strategy to continue to meet community needs is a revitalization of Camelot Park Community Center and Frontier Park and a new business direction that fully leverages the experience and talent of both existing and new leadership. The Arlington Heights Park District develops and annually updates a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Included within the definition of a capital project is the construction of new facilities, remodeling or expansion of existing facilities and purchase, improvement and development of land. Soon, much needed infrastructure enhancements will begin at Frontier Park which unfortunately will include the removal of several mature trees. The tree scape will be impacted however the Park District plans to replace trees as soon as possible. The planned improvements at Camelot Park will bring the building up to ADA standards and enhance the user experience. Recreation program rooms will become multi-purpose space and a full-size gymnasium will be added to allow for more programs. Learn more about CIP projects on our website. This summer, the Park District will also be abuzz with change at the Board of Commissioners and staff level. Two long-standing Board members. Robert Whisler and Robert Smith have served tirelessly as Commissioners since 2000 and 1997 respectively and will be retiring from the Board. On behalf of the Arlington Heights community, the Park District and the entire Park Board, I thank them for their leadership and years of outstanding service. We look forward to welcoming two new Board members soon. Additionally, there is a palpable enthusiasm stemming from the recent arrival of a new Director of Recreation and Facilities and the anticipation of a new Director of Parks and Planning before summer’s end. Their predecessors, Jim Glueckert and Brian Huckstadt did a tremendous job of laying the groundwork for success, and I’m excited to see our new leaders apply their skills and talents to the on-going improvement of the Park District. Summertime is AHPD’s busiest season and we remain committed to managing all of these changes while continually working to increase our impact on our residents’ lives even further. We hope to see you dipping your toe, wading in slow or diving into one of our pools or relaxing in one of your 58 parks over these next few months.

How is the Park District Program Guide delivered to residents?
What if I don’t receive a Program Guide by the delivery date?
The Arlington Heights Park District uses a door to door service to deliver the guide to residents prior to each program session or four times per year.
We would like to know as soon as possible if you do not receive a Guide. Listed below are the delivery dates for Fall 2013 through Summer 2014, please mark your calendar. The delivery dates for Fall 2013 through Summer 2014 will be listed in the Summer program guide.
Why choose a delivery service over bulk mailing through the Post Office? There are several reasons: • The benefit of the delivery service is a significant cost savings over mailing. It also allows us to target delivery to Park District residents. • The amount of time needed to deliver the Guide through the delivery service is 1-3 days. • Through the post office, the requirement for bulk mailing is 10-12 days. • Because the service indicates delivery in three days, we can find out in a timely manner those households that did not receive a Guide and re-deliver sooner. It is important to understand whatever the method of delivering the Guide; there is the potential for missed deliveries.
Guide Fall 2013 Winter 2014 Spring 2014 Summer 2014
Delivery Date (Saturdays) July 20 November 16 January 25 April 19
Please mark your calendar and if you do not receive a Guide delivered near your front door or porch by the date indicated above; call 847.577.3003, ext 5353. We consistently work with the service for front door/ porch delivery; however on occasion the guide may be delivered in your driveway. There are three other options if you do not receive the Guide by the
It is our goal to minimize the number of non-deliveries and work with the delivery service to identify where problems occurred and to improve the service. Our #1 priority is to make sure those individuals and families, who want the Park District Program Guide, receive it.

You may also print the guide from a pdf file located on the Park District’s home page. We hope this article provides you with additional information on how the Program Guide is delivered and the process to follow for re-delivery.

Recycling in the Parks
Cicada Wasps in the Parks
You may have noticed something new in the past couples of years in our parks. Our green garbage containers now double as recycling cans. In an effort to become a greener component to our community, the Park District has partnered with Groot Recycling and Waste Services. Here’s how it works. All the trash collected in our small garbage trucks will be hauled and dumped at Groot’s facility in Elk Grove Village. This state of the art recycling/waste facility separates the recyclable material from the solid waste. For our special events and for some of our higher use facilities and parks we will be providing special containers with special liners to assist in the front end collection. If you have any further questions please contact Frontier Service Center at 847.577.3013
In 2009 the Arlington Heights Park District became all too familiar with Sphecius speciosus. What is Sphecius speciosus? Better known as, (and it sounds worse than it is) Cicada Killer Wasp. Cicada Killer Wasps are, in fact quite harmless. They are most commonly confused with European hornets. The most visible of these are the males, which cannot sting. Although the males may appear to be aggressive or chase you, they are probably just trying to orient themselves because you are a new large object in their habitat. Female Cicada Killer Wasps can sting, but seldom do. A scale of sting pain developed by biologists for rating the intensity of stings ranges from 0 to 4 (0 being the least pain and 4 the most pain). The female sting is between 0 and 1 on that scale. Those who may be allergic still need to take the same caution they normally do. The Arlington Heights Park District has tried several methods of control including removing sections of soil and sand and replacing with new material hoping to break their life cycle. If you have any questions please call the Frontier Service Center at 847.577.3013 or check out additional information on the Cicada Killer Wasps at ahpd.org.
Creating A Healthy Environment In response to the national concern of smoking at public facilities, the Park District seeks to create a healthy environment for employees, program participants, park guests and visitors. Park District facilities and vehicles have been designated as non-smoking areas. Our facilities include the buildings, fenced outdoor pool areas and athletic fields.

Please Don’t Feed The Wildlife: Food Determines Numbers As you may be aware our flocks of geese and ducks have increased yearly. One of the causes of this is artificial feeding. Your well-intended snacks for our feathered friends decreases their ability to survive on the available natural food and makes them susceptible to disease and other predators. Snack food invites more geese and ducks and the additional food is usually of poor or improper nutritional quality. The ultimate solution is to STOP FEEDING THE BIRDS. Pampering them does no good.

Talley’s Folly presented by the Guild
NEW
THE STORY: The scene is the ornate, deserted Victorian boathouse on the Talley place in Lebanon, Missouri; the time 1944. Matt Friedman, an accountant from St. Louis, has arrived to plead his love to Sally Talley, the susceptible, but uncertain daughter of the family. Bookish,, totally honest and delightfully funny, Matt refuses to accept Sally’s rebuffs and her fears that her family would never approve of their marriage. Charming and indomitable, he gradually overcomes her defenses, telling his innermost secrets to his loved one and, in return, learning hers as well. Gradually he awakens Sally to the possibilities of a life together until, in the final, touching moments of the play, it is clear that they are two kindred spirits who have truly found each other—two “lame ducks” who, in their union, will find a wholeness rare in human relationships. On the lovely grounds of the Historical Museum, bring your lawn chairs, blankets and picnic baskets to enjoy a lovely evening entertained by actors of The Guild. In case of inclement weather, the play will be held indoors.

YOUR GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING AHPD POOL POLICIES Planning your family’s summertime fun and understanding pool policies can seem overwhelming, so we've created this guide to help you and your family members get the most out of your visit. Here are some essential tips to assist you in your pool visit planning. Don’t worry, once you arrive, staff is happy to assist in making your visit more enjoyable so just ask.
Lap Swim Etiquette Users are expected to share lanes. By staying to the right and swimming in a circular pattern, users can maximize the use of the lanes for several users at a time. At Recreation, when Adult Lap Swim shares time with a swim team there will be six lanes dedicated for lap swim use. The wading pool is not available during specific Adult Lap Swim times. Children are not allowed on the pool deck during these adult-only times. Lap lanes are available at all facilities during public swim times except during times of extreme crowding.
Inclement Weather Closings We will close immediately if: Thunder, tornado or lightning detected Pool will reopen if a 15-minute period passes with no further incidence.
Floatation Device Policy Pool Closings for Special Events or Programs Please check the bulletin board of your local pool to learn of any daily schedule closings.
Other Pool Closings Low attendance portions of the pool or the entire pool may be closed. Fecal accidents or vomit incidents. Staff will follow rules established by the State of Illinois when determining how long the pool will remain closed. Air temperature falls below 67 degrees, as recorded at O’Hare.
Inner tubes, rafts, water wings, foam noodles or swimsuits with integrated floatation devices are not permitted. US Coast Guard approved lifejackets are allowed. Each facility has a limited number available for use. Lifejackets do not make a child drown-proof. Children in lifejackets must be supervised by an adult at a maximum of arms length reach at all times when in the water. Children in lifejackets are not allowed to go down slides or off the diving boards.
Bicycles, Strollers, Carriages at Outdoor Pools Bicycles: Are allowed at the bike racks only. Are never allowed to enter the building. Strollers and carriages: Should always be attended. Are only permitted in designated areas. Not allowed in the immediate area adjacent to the pool. Each pool varies so please ask if you need assistance.
Adult/Toddler Breaks: Outdoor Pools 10-minute adult/toddler breaks are held every hour during open swim at: Camelot, Frontier, Heritage, Pioneer and Recreation Park
No cameras, please. The use of cell phones, cameras and other recording devices is prohibited in all Arlington Heights Park District locker rooms and bathrooms. Please report any suspicious behavior.
Deck Chairs
Lockers
Pool Toys
A limited number of pool deck chairs are available with preference given to adults.
Available during public swim at no charge. Lockers must be secured with your own padlock. Any lockers left locked after the pool closes will have the padlocks cut off. Swimming pool patrons are advised not to leave valuables in lockers as the Park District is not responsible for lost or stolen items. The contents will be available at the pool office.
Small balls, small water and beach toys are permitted in the wading pools and the zero depth area when attendance is low. Not allowed during crowded times.
Bringing your own? Lawn chairs must be kept up against the fence near the wading pool. On the main pool deck, lawn chairs must be ten feet away from the edge of the pool. Ask the pool manager for designated chair areas. Chairs are not allowed in the spray ground area.
p44
Balls may not be used in the diving wells. Patrons throwing balls wildly and who risk hitting other bathers will be told to stop.

There are new and exciting events and opportunities available for you this summer!
Rite of Passage Is your child apprehensive about going off the diving board, big water slide, or deep drop slide? Let us help you out! On Sunday June 9 at 11 am stop by Olympic Indoor Swim Center to try out either slide or the diving board with the help from our lifeguard staff. Our staff will ensure that your child can explore this new challenge in very relaxed setting. We will be in the water close enough to help if needed and provide words of encouragement. The only cost to you is your admission to the pool, and if you have a pool pass then this is free! This will be the only activity going on in the pool area. Public Open Swim will begin at 1 pm and you are invited to stay and enjoy the day.
Free Swim Lesson Evaluation On June 4, June 5, and June 6 at 6 pm our professional summer Swim Lesson Coordinator staff will evaluate your child’s swimming skills and tell you what level of our swim program is best suited for you. Your child will also get an opportunity to work in a small group setting with an instructor-in-training, under the supervision of a Swim Lesson Coordinator. During this one on one time your child will get to practice some of the skills they may be struggling with. You will leave with a certificate that you can bring in on your first day of summer swim lessons that will help get you placed in the right level. These evaluations are intended for ages 3 to 12. Staff will also be available to answer any questions you may have about our program or summer schedule. Please stop by and see us. This is a free opportunity. No registration required.
Diving Expo Check out the skills of our diving instructor staff at a free diving expo at Olympic. Staff will use the 1 meter boards to perform a series of dives. Staff will also be available to answer any questions you may have about our dive program. The only cost is your admission to the pool, and if you have a pool pass this is free! We will be at Olympic Wednesday June 19 and Wednesday July 17 at 7:15 pm.
Water Polo Showcase On Monday June 10 youth water polo begins for the summer. We invite you to Recreation Pool to watch practice and then once practice is done, you can get in and try water polo with a coach to see if you may like to play the sport. This is a free event for children age 11 - 14.
Lifeguard Competition Cheer on your favorite lifeguards as they showcase their skills at the 25th Annual Arlington Heights Park District Lifeguard Competition Thursday, July 25 at 7:30 pm at Recreation Pool. This free event involves lifeguard skill events, swim races, and team spirit activities executed by the guards from all six neighborhood pools. Originally developed as a training activity, the annual competition has turned into a friendly rivalry among the pools staff. There are two awards given at this competition: the Spirit Award for the pool that demonstrated the most team spirit; Guard Comp Champions award for the team that wins the skill events and races. Last year Heritage won the Spirit Award and Recreation won the Guard Comp Champions award. Frontier Pool will be open to the public on this evening while we hold the guard competition.
Splashball Want to try water polo, but maybe you are too young? Then Splashball is perfect for you. It is designed for children age 9 to 11. Look it up in this guide.
Adult Swim Stroke Evaluations Are you a lap swimmer that enjoys putting in yardage, but are not sure if your stroke is as efficient as it could be? Come on over to Recreation Pool on June 17 or June 19 at 7:15 pm. Our professional Muskie swim coaches will evaluate your stroke and provide some pointers. The only cost to you is your admission to the pool, and if you have a pool pass then this is free! Are you interested in a Masters Swim Club at the Park District? If so please express your interest to Steve Neill at sjneill@ahpd.org.

Summer Session Information: There are several different session dates for the summer. We are excited to once again offer one week swim lessons this summer. We are also offering two day a week swim lessons. Many parents expressed an interest in one week and two day a week offerings based on program evaluations. There will be the traditional two week sessions and a Saturday session throughout the summer as well. There will be no classes held on Fridays. Please be sure to check your swim lesson session dates. Not all swim lessons meet every day of the week. Some have conflicts with interpark meets and some are only two days a week. Please be sure to review the dates that you sign up for. There are sessions that run ONE week, TWO week, and FOUR week, along with SATURDAY only classes. No classes dates:There are a few days this summer when classes will not meet. There will be no classes at all pools on July 4 due to the holiday. There will also be no classes on Saturday, July 27 at all pools due to City Meet.
Interpark Meet conflicts: At each pool there will be days when an interpark swim meet conflicts with swim lessons. At Camelot, Frontier, Pioneer and Recreation the first swim lessons of the morning will be effected. At Heritage and Olympic the first swim lessons of the evening will be effected. All of the interpark conflict dates are reflected in the scheduled offerings and the fees are adjusted accordingly. Interpark conflict dates will also be posted at the pools during the summer and announcements will be made to help remind participants.
First Day of Lessons: It is important for parents to attend the first day of the session for swim lessons to find out how the lessons operate and who to speak with if you have questions. On the first day of class, participants find out who their instructor is, who the Lesson Coordinators are, when Parent’s Day is held and the general operation of the lesson program for that particular pool. You will be able to pick up a parent letter, which has a listing of all the conflict dates for your convenience. You will also be able to pick up a parent packet which has a detailed listing of all the skills that are taught in Water Babies through Swim School. You can also view this on-line at ahpd.org/swimming/SwimLessonInfo.htm.
Advancing Levels: Participants can advance levels in Junior Swim School, Swim School and Swim School II. Four-year olds can move from Junior Swim School to Swim School. Participants are evaluated by a lesson coordinator periodically throughout the session. There is no magic number of how many times a child will be tested. It is an unreal expectation to test every participant every day. The lesson coordinator discusses the daily lesson activity with the swim instructors prior to class and reviews the class sheets to plan their evaluations for the day. Every day is different and there is not a set pattern in how evaluations are done. It is never our intent to frustrate participants or parents. Our goal is for the participant to learn and have fun.
Parent’s Day: Parent’s Days are held for Jr. Swim School and Swim School and are a day when parents are invited pool side to observe their child’s skills and to talk with the swim instructor.
How the wait lists are handled for swim lessons? If you are placed on a wait list for a swimming class, we will do our best to get you into that class. Many times prior to the class starting a registered participant or two may refund out. If and when that happens we will automatically move in the next person on the wait list and follow that up with a phone call to make sure that you still want the spot. If space is not made from refunds, we may try to expand the class. To expand a class we have to ensure that we have enough instructors to meet the required ratios and that we have enough pool space. Many classes run at the same time as others and we need to be careful not to over schedule the pool. Lastly, if we are not able to accommodate you prior to the class starting, we will keep you on the wait list for at least two days of the class to see if another participant refunds out to make the space for you. Typically we will clear the waitlist after the third day a class meets. If you want to refund off the wait list prior to the third day a class meets, please call our staff at Olympic Indoor Swim Center, 847.577.3025, so we can process that for you.
Questions or Comments: During every swim lesson there is one Lesson Coordinator responsible for the supervision of the day’s activities. In addition, there may be one or two Aquatic Leaders on duty to assist the administration of the swim lesson program. Please direct any positive or critical comments to these key staff. We hope your experience is always positive, but if not, please do not hesitate to talk with these staff about your concern. It is much easier to address an issue and fix it on the spot, compared to the end of the session. You can also contact the Aquatic Program Supervisor at any time, Steve Neill 847.590.6059, sjneill@ahpd.org.

Resident Registration begins May 7 at 10 am
Registration is now available on the first day of resident registration and can be done on-line. The minimum age for private swim lesson has been lowered to 3 years old. Private swim lessons are designed to meet your child’s individual needs. Each code is for two classes. You can sign up for as many as you like. They are packaged in sets of two, unless there is an interpark swim meet conflict and then only one will be offered that week. New participants will be contacted prior to the first day of lessons by a Swim Lesson Coordinator who will ask about your instructor preference and what specifically your child needs to work on. We hope this new registration format makes it easier for both parents and staff to schedule and organize the private swim lessons. (SN) Private lessons are $50/$75.50 unless otherwise noted.

Our diving program is designed to promote safety and a basic introduction to diving. Divers are given specific goals that will help their skill development. Divers are encouraged to attempt new dives and explore the possibilities of what they can learn. The ratio is one instructor per five students. Beginning divers must be able to swim 15 yards. The three-step approach, front, back, and twist dives are taught. As students progress and gain skills, our instructor will continue to present new challenges. (SN)

Swim School (5-12 yrs) The ratio is six students per one instructor. These fun and exciting classes introduce and help develop stroke coordination and comfort in the water. The program has ten levels to help your child learn beginning through advanced swimming and safety skills. While many of the activities are repetitive, studies indicate that this is the best way for young children to learn. Frequency is the key to water adjustment and learning. All children learn at a different pace and will advance through the ten levels at a different pace. Just because a child does not advance a level does not mean they are not learning. Try to attend all classes and include swimming in your family’s recreational activities. • Did you know that once your child graduates from swim school they can still register for Swim School and participate in the tenth and final level, Graduate Swim School? This level focuses on refining the six swim strokes, and building endurance. • Did you know that you can view all of the swim school level requirements on-line? Visit ahpd.org/swimming/SwimLessonInfo.htm to view them and other information about our swim program. • Participants register for classes by time periods and our staff will evaluate each child’s ability on the first day of class. Therefore the first day of class will take longer to get started due to attendance and ability evaluations. If you took swim lessons during the prior season, please bring your end of lesson sheet so staff can properly place your child. We honor sheets from one season prior. Children can wear swim goggles. If your child has long hair we recommend they wear a swim cap or tie their hair back. Please remember there are no make-ups for missed classes. • Based on suggestions from parent evaluations, one week classes and two day a week classes are being offered. There are no classes on Fridays. All fees are adjusted based on how many days your class meets. Please review the dates of the classes you are interested in. (SN)

Swim Academy 6-12 yrs Swim Academy is a learn to swim program designed with a focus on endurance and technique. Students should be able to complete one length freestyle and backstroke to be eligible for Swim Academy. This program is aimed for those swimmers who are looking for further immersion into the sport of swimming. The one hour class will be structured as a combination between our swim lesson program and the competitive swim team, the Arlington Muskies. The core of the program is based around the four competitive swim strokes: backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and freestyle. • Swimmers begin in the novice level, Bronze, with the basic skills associated with backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle. Streamline, sometimes considered the fifth competitive stroke, will also be taught from the beginning. Swimmers will work through the progression of each stroke, starting from building endurance with a strong and efficient kick. The progression will continue with further parts of each stroke being broken down with the help of diagrams, and in water drills provided by the instruction of the coaches. • The second level, Silver, continues freestyle and backstroke adding in the addition of flip turns. Breaststroke is taught in full and the beginnings of butterfly are also introduced. • In Gold all strokes are worked on with proper turns. Students will also begin to work on using the pace clock. Throughout the program students will be introduced to some of the aspects of competitive swimming other than just the swim strokes themselves. The stroke, streamline, turn, and start are all equal parts of a race. This program is one part of swimming being lifelong. The ratio is eight students to one coach. (SN)

Splashball (9-11 yrs) What is Splashball? Think of water polo in shallow water! What a great way to get introduced to a great new team sport. Splashball will be taught in shallow water, where the participants can mostly stand on the bottom. The rules for Splashball are different than water polo. Some of the key differences are that the participant can touch the bottom of the pool, can use two hands on the ball, and there is no defensive contact allowed. Focus will be on team passing, shooting, and defensive positioning. Participants must be able to swim at least 25 yards of the pool and be comfortable in the water.

Water Polo is an exciting team sport to watch and even more exciting to play. Teams will be coached by staff who play or have played water polo at the high school level. Specific skills will be worked on each day that will build toward conducting actual matches between parks. This program is being offered at four locations for practices. All practices sessions will take place on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. All matches will take place at Recreation Park on Fridays between 10 am and 12 noon. Match scheduling will take into consideration the Interpark Swim Team meet schedule. Emphasis will be on having fun, learning the basics and sportsmanship. Both the ball and goal will be smaller than what is used at the high school level. This program will be offered in the deep water. Students must know how to swim and be comfortable in deep water.

Quickstart Tennis Program Forest View is proud to offer the Quickstart Tennis method of teaching for young junior players as the first of three phases of our lesson program. We believe that this is the best way to get students playing tennis at young ages with solid technique. Racquets, balls, and courts will be sized appropriately for each age, size, and ability level with the goal being to get kids playing tennis earlier in the learning process. These lessons will look more interactive with emphasis being placed on movement and body awareness, culminating in early rallies between student and instructor and soon thereafter from student to student. We are looking forward to grooming the next generation of northwest suburban tennis players with this initiative.
Quickstart Tennis Lessons (5-7 yrs) Children are taught tennis technique and rules of the game in a format that is scaled to their size and ability. This miniature version of adult tennis allows the young beginner and advanced beginner to play and learn tennis at the same time.

In addition to tennis specific skills, camp activities will stress both eye - hand coordination and agility training. Sign up for one week or as many weeks that fit your family schedule. Skill training will be progressive for multi week campers.

Forest View Academy Program Forest View is excited to offer the Academy Program for competitive junior players. Learning perfect strokes is a worthy goal, but only if they can help you win the point. Tennis cannot be learned in a classroom, so students in the Academy program should expect to hit more than listen. Competitive experiences are not the test of your achievement. They are simply part of the process of learning to compete. The focus of training in the Academy Program will be on teaching players how to apply their individual skills to various levels of competition. Requirements for participation in the Academy Program are: • Forest View Junior Membership • Competitive Play (Tournaments, High School Teams, Junior Match Play Program) For information on placement in the Academy Program please contact Head Tennis Professional, Jason Stanislaw at 847.640.2574 or jstani2836@yahoo.com. Class placement in the Academy Program is per pro recommendation, and is based on several factors including but not limited to: age, previous tennis lesson experience, competition/tournament experience and group fit. Registration and payment for Academy classes must be made in person at Forest View Racquet & Fitness Club.

The program is made up of seven divisions: Kindergarten; 1st Grade; 2nd grades; 3rd grade; 4th grade; 5th and 6th grades. Boys and girls play on separate teams (except in Kindergarten division), in separate leagues, and are placed on teams based out of the park where they register. Pioneer and Heritage participants registration code will be combined but teams will be formed by school. Teams are formed by the availability of coaches and time of your registration. Games will begin September 8 and conclude October 20. All games will be played on Saturday except for one weekend during the season for grades 1st to 4th grades will be played on Sunday.
When is the sign up deadline? Registration begins June 2 and the deadline for Fall 2012 is Friday, August 3 at 5 pm. Any registration accepted after this date will encounter a $25 late fee and will be placed on a waitlist. Being placed on the wait list does not guarantee a space in the program. Placement will be based on volunteer coach availability and space available on teams.
Where can I register for Soccer? Registration must be done on-line or in-person at Community Centers (Camelot, Frontier, Heritage, Pioneer, or Recreation) as parents are required to fill out several permission forms.

The Arlington Heights Park District, the Arlington Aces Soccer Club, provide the framework for children to learn this exciting and rewarding sport while developing individual skills and learning the importance of teamwork. The Arlington Aces Travel Soccer Program provides players who wish to develop soccer skills in a more competitive environment while stressing sportsmanship and fun. As the name suggests, teams in this program travel outside Arlington Heights to compete against teams from other soccer clubs. Practices are generally more frequent and longer than for players in House League.
Comprised of Two Components • Volunteer coached program • Academy (Professionally coached program) Both components utilize Aces Soccer staff to assist in the player and team development process. Currently all girls teams play in the Illinois Women’s Soccer League and all the boys teams play in the Young Sportsmen Soccer League or Northern Illinois Soccer League. The Academy Teams will be trained twice a week by their professional coach and have Technical Training on Fridays during both fall and spring seasons. The volunteer coached teams will be trained once per week by an Aces Soccer trainer and the volunteer coach will lead the on the field responsibilities during team practices and games to provide an excellent soccer experience.
Team Structure The Arlington Aces Academy Program is designed for all players who aspire to reach their potential on and off the field and who seek a unified approach to total player development. Players develop by learning skills and strategies at age appropriate levels and benefit from the teaching philosophy of nationally licensed soccer professionals and youth development specialists. Academy teams are formed at U9-U19 age groups and are coached by trained staff. Teams will be determined by how many players register for a certain program (volunteer coached or academy). If there is not enough players in an age group to form a volunteer coached team, then those players will be considered for the Academy program or vice versa. Please register prior to the 1st day of your child’s age level, if you have questions, please contact Matt Healy at mhealy@ahpd.org or 847.506.7133.

Aces Tryout Pre Registration
preschool Preschool Classes
About the Program:
The philosophy of the preschool program is to allow the children to learn through play, as they grow socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually. Our preschool program provides a sensitive and safe learning environment. Our goals are to encourage children to work, play, and share with each other, to develop new interests, enhance creative abilities, learn problem-solving skills, be able to follow directions and establish self-direction. We provide a well-rounded program, developed with the guidance of District 25 kindergarten teachers, to meet individual needs and help all children see themselves as capable learners. Children are exposed to activities, which include experiences in foundations of alphabet, numbers, fine and gross motor coordination, and language skills. A positive experience in preschool will lay the groundwork for the school years ahead. Responses from parents who have sent their children through the preschool program have been extremely positive.
The preschool program provides a carefully planned curriculum, developed with the guidance of District 25 Kindergarten teachers. Our program is designed to give your child the tools and experiences they need to assure a positive transition from preschool to kindergarten. Some ongoing skills emphasized during our two year program are recognition and printing of first name with upper and lower case letters, naming basic colors and shapes, finding upper and lower cases letters when named, and reciting numbers 1-20. Our teachers encourage creative freedom through free play, imaginative play, arts and crafts, music, science, and gross and fine motor activities. The philosophy of our preschool is to allow the children to learn through play. • Children in preschool must be toilet trained; pull-ups are not acceptable. Children in the 3-4 year old program must be 3 by September 1, 2013; those in the 4-5 year old program must be 4 by September 1, 2013. Proof of age is required at the time of registration. Please bring a birth certificate to registration. • Children currently enrolled in the 3-4 year old program receive priority in registering for the 4-5 year old program. Some programs may be full at the February 23rd general registration.
About the Instructors: Skilled professionals schooled in early childhood and/or elementary education, teach the preschool program. Our instructors are kept informed of current trends in education by attending early childhood workshops and conferences throughout the year. Our teachers help the children develop new interests, learn good work habits, follow directions, socialize, share, and establish self-direction.
The 3-4 year old program does not require a parent to help throughout the year assisting the instructor, however, you may assist if you are interested. Parents are required to supply snacks, juice, and napkins for the children in the program approximately 4-5 times a year. Sign-up for the snack helper dates is conducted in the fall. The 4-5 year old classes provide a teacher and teacher’s aide.

This program specializes in floor and trampoline skills. Designed for cheerleaders and aspiring cheerleaders, the classes emphasize tumbling and jumping skills that are necessary in this growing sport. There are three levels offered: beginner, intermediate, and high school. For safety reasons, all students new to the tumbling program should enroll in a beginner level unless the tumbler can perform a back handspring unassisted. A back handspring is a jump backward, flipping upside down to a handstand, and a push off with the hands to return to one’s feet.

Martial Arts stamina Which Karate Program is right for me?
The Park District offers two different Karate Programs: The Illinois Shotokan Karate Club and the Kid’s Karate Club and Safety Time Program. These are two distinctively different programs. Programs cover ages 4 through adults.
What is the difference? The Illinois Shotokan Karate Club instructs the following Karate Programs: Pre-Karate, Parent / Child Karate, and Youth and Adult Karate. The program stresses the development of cardiovascular fitness, coordination, strength, and karate skills. Personal safety skills and self-defense skills are also taught at the appropriate levels. The Kid’s Karate Club and Safety Time Program specializes in teaching the martial arts and safety to children ages 4-15 years. The program revolves around family involvement and stresses respect. Parents may attend class with their child by signing up for the Parent Helper Program. Both programs are motivational and encourage participants to do their best in all activities, including school and other sports.
Besides the class fees, what other fees are associated with the program? Kid’s Karate Club: Students are asked to purchase a uniform by the third week of class with a cost of $35 per student; $40 parent helpers. $38 for Tournaments and Testing. Tournaments and Belt Testing are optional. Yellow Belts and up will need to purchase additional protective equipment.
Kid’s Karate Club Parent Helper Program
No. Because these are distinctively different programs, the Levels and Association of Color of Belts are not the same. If you choose to switch from one program to another, you may not be placed in the same Level or considered at the same Color of Belt.
Would you like to attend class with your child? You will hold kicking and punching shields, help organize the children in line, and assist the instructors with class, while learning the martial arts yourself. You are not required to attend every class. The parent helper program is available to all parents with children in the program. There is no fee to take karate, but parents who help are asked to purchase a uniform with a cost of $40. Call the Karate Club Hot-Line at 630.293.9989 for more information.

Honoring the service and sacrifice of veterans and their families. Memorial Park is the only park in Arlington exclusively dedicated to veterans. Each year, the Memorial Day Parade ends at Memorial Park where the entire community participates in a solemn ceremony to honor all veterans. Located at Fremont and Chestnut Streets, Memorial Park has roots deep in Arlington history. Civil War veteran, Dr. John Best, wanted to honor the sacrifices of Civil War veterans. So in 1883, he donated land to the Village for a “Soldiers Memorial” - a tribute to those who had served and sacrificed for the Union. In 1925, the Village donated the Park to the new Arlington Heights Park District. The Park was renamed “Memorial Park” and dedicated to honoring the sacrifice of all veterans throughout our nation’s history. Since 2006, the Drive to Revive Memorial Park Committee has worked with the Park District and other organizations to rebuild Memorial Park. A beautiful new design was constructed which features the service seals of all six US Military Services; a bronze timeline marking the 15 conflicts in which Arlington veterans have served; the Eternal Flame sculpture and commemorative bricks to honor the service and sacrifice of individual veterans. A special section of Memorial Park is dedicated to the 58 young men from Arlington Heights who have died in the service of our Nation – from the Civil War to the current conflict in Afghanistan. We call these 58 young men Arlington’s Fallen Heroes. To date, 500+ veterans are honored with a brick at Memorial Park. Each brick features an inscription that tells a story of service and sacrifice. Individually, these bricks recount the history of a veteran. Collectively, the 500+ bricks tell a story of service in the cause of freedom that crosses generations. Everyone is encouraged to visit the Park and view the bricks. It will be a memorable experience.

Resident Registration begins May 7 at 10 am
The Arlington Heights Park District is committed to accessibility for all people providing Park District service, programs and activities in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Sue Gwinnup, Superintendent of Recreation, is the District’s ADA Compliance Officer. If you need a special accommodation to participate in any Park District function, contact Sue at 847.506.7870 and she will be happy to assist you. Program participants should complete the Special Accommodation section on the registration form. This gives the program supervisor the information they need to assist you. NOTE: The Recreation Park community center is not an accessible facility.
As a Park District Resident, you... • Are entitled to resident rates when registering for Buffalo Grove Park District recreation programs but must register at the non-resident registration dates. Adult athletic leagues and special revenue facilities are excluded. • Can receive discounted rates on Learn to Skate through the Rolling Meadows Park District. • Are eligible to purchase ice skating passes (valid September-May) from the Rolling Meadows Park District at resident rates. • Are reimbursed the non-resident portion of the fee when registering for the Renegades Hockey program at the Rolling Meadows Park District. The Arlington Heights Park District pays this reimbursement when a copy of the receipt is submitted to the athletic supervisor. • May golf or fish at the Salt Creek Park District Twin Lakes facility at resident rates when presenting a special Arlington Heights Park District resident pass. This photo ID pass may be purchased at the Arlington Heights Park District Administrative Office for $2.
New Residents We have a packet of Park District information and a coupon page to introduce new residents to our wonderful recreation activities. If you’re new to Arlington Heights or have a friend or neighbor moving into our busy community, call 847.506.7142 to request a free new resident packet. If leaving a message, please spell your name and be sure to include your zip code with your address.
Not all Arlington Heights Residents are in the Park District We deliver the Program Guide to everyone within the boundaries of the Arlington Heights Park District; however, there are several areas in the Village that are not in the Park District. Some of these areas: • Arbor Lakes Apartments • Any street west of Wilke Road • Briarwood Lake • Carriageway Drive • Central Park East Apartments • Courts of Russetwood • Dale Avenue between Gregory and Kensington • Dana Point Condominiums • Daniels Court • Donald Avenue between Grove and Kensington • Evanston Avenue between Gregory and Kensington • Happfield Drive • Rammer Avenue between Grove and Kensington • Regent Park If you live in these areas, please use the nonresident information when registering for classes. For additional information on which Park District you belong to, please consult your tax bill. Park District Residents: To qualify for resident fees an individual must reside within the boundaries of the Arlington Heights Park District. The Recreation Department may waive the residency requirement for a program if it is considered in the best interest of the Park District. Nonresidents: Bring your completed registration form to any community center or Administration Center on or after May 22. Nonresident registration begins at 10 a.m. on this date. Nonresident registrations received before this date are held and processed beginning May 22. Because residents contribute to the overall financing of the Park District with their property taxes, they pay a lower fee for classes. Non-residents may register for recreation programs; however, residents receive admission priority to all programs. Please note that some programs have a non-resident fee listed under the program description as the second fee indicated as NR.
Photo Policy Photos and videos are periodically taken of people participating in Park District program and activities. All persons registering for Park District programs/ activities, or using Park District property thereby agrees that any photograph or videotape taken by the Park District may be used by the Park District for promotional purposes including its electronic media, videotapes, brochures, flyers and other publications without additional, prior notice or permission and without compensation to the participant.
