Looking for a way to keep your kids active during the winter? Me too! How about great community sponsored indoor and outdoor activities? We just signed out three year old little boy up for indoor winter soccer at the new Parker Fieldhouse. It meets every Saturday morning and the kids practice for 30 minutes and play games for 30 minutes. I'm sure it's different for bigger kids but the point is that our three year old will be active and having fun every Saturday from January 10, 2009 to February 28th. Not to mention it gets my wife and I out of the house and meeting new faces in our community. Sounds like fun to me.

Important: if you or someone you know is looking to have some real fun how about volunteering to be a coach? You will get the satisfaction of helping children learn and being a great asset to the community. Get involved!

Q. How do I sign up?

A. If you are interested check out their online sign-up system. It was pretty easy and took only about 10 minutes. We actually walked into the Filedhouse and used their PC and their onsite help hince it was out first time. You need to setup an online profile with all of your family members and then you can choose activities.

Q. How much does it cost?

A. Not much. Our class/sport was $60 for residents and $65 for non-residents. Most of the sports I saw were thet same price. Not bad for over one month of fun.

Oh, and you don't need to be a kid to enjoy our local Recreation centers. Parker has done a great job of adding programs, classes and sports for all ages. Take a look below.
