YOUTH SPORTS SPECIAL EVENTS

ARC Fall Classic Pickleball Tournament

Join our Picklers at the ARC Center for our first annual skill based round robin scramble pickleball tournament.

This mixer tournament requires no partners, as 8 players of similar skill level will be grouped onto a court. Each player on that court plays a total of 7 games to 15 points. This is similar to a round robin, except you have a different partner for each game. The top two players from each court with the largest winning margin (score the most points and give up the least) are awarded first and second place.

Since there will be 9 courts, this is like having 9 tournaments simultaneously! (ML)

Introduction & Philosophy The West Chicago Park District’s Keppler Academy Preschool focuses on the developmental needs of children from three to five years old. Keppler Academy is designed to give children the tools and experiences necessary to assure a positive transition to kindergarten.

Our program offers a warm, nurturing, and friendly environment where children can explore, create, and flourish. Socialization skills and independence are developed through a variety of daily skills and exercises.

Our philospophy is that all children learn through hands-on experiences, exploration, and positive interactions with others. Every child is unique and will develop at their own pace. We foster an environment that will help all children succeed emotionally, physically, and socially. Every child has their own learning style and we give many options to explore and build on those abilities. (GR)

Take advantage of our convenient monthly EFT (Electronic Fund Transfer) payment plan where payments are automatically withdrawn from your credit or debit card on the first of the month (September through May).

Dragon Tots

Judo is two individuals who, by gripping uniforms, use forces of balance, power, timing and physics to subdue their opponents.

It all starts from a standing position and then moves to the ground for submission techniques or to pin your opponent. Promotions are based on competitions from green, brown and black belt ranks.

Uniforms are mandatory as are four competitions per year. Great cross training for wrestlers. (BK)

Structured on semi-traditional format, emphasizes self-discipline, accountability, goal setting and respect. Participants learn basic techniques utilizing coordination, balance, timing and repetition.

WDSRA SPORTS ADULT Drop In Pickleball If you haven’t heard of or played Pickleball, you’re missing out on the biggest craze since the Hoola Hoop! Pickleball is traditionally played on a badminton-sized court with special Pickleball paddles and a ball similar to a whiffle ball, but slightly smaller. The lower net and whiffle ball allow the game to be accessible to people of all ages and abilities, while still allowing more competitive players to test their mettle. It was created with one thing in mind: FUN! It is easy to learn and play so, grab a few friends and head to the ARC Center and give Pickleball a try! (ML) For a full listing of days and times, check out the open gym schedule on page 5 of this program guide or visit our website at we-goparks.org.

Enjoy the healing benefits of Yin Yoga for both the mind and the body. This style of yoga is a more meditative approach with a physical focus that goes much deeper to access the deep connective tissues within the body that encompass a joint, such as the hips, pelvis, and lower spine. As one ages, flexibility in the joints decreases, and Yin Yoga is a wonderful way to maintain that flexibility and live a healthy way of life. (BK) 14+ yrs Th Th
