The American Heritage College Dictionary, Third Edition”
defines the word athlete as “a person possessing the natural
or acquired traits necessary for physical exercise or sports, especially
those performed in competitive contexts.” In our community,
there is no shortage of leagues for almost all athletes at every age.
Our schools offer a wide variety of fall, winter and spring sports for
both male and female athletes. Local pools are filled every Saturday
morning at o’dark thirty for eight weeks during summer swim
season. You haven’t lived until you are eating a cheeseburger at 9
a.m. on a Saturday because you’ve been at the pool since 4:30 a.m.
helping with setup for these athletes. Children who are interested
and parents who are willing will find league sports available yearround
for the child who wishes to hone his or her athletic skill
to play at the next level. Did you know that Prince William was
the first home to many professional athletes?
