Director reports strong fall enrollment for Old Lyme recreation programs

At the meeting, Director Don summarized the parks and recreation department's fall offerings and enrollment. "There are currently 202 participants registered," he said about youth soccer, which is scheduled for Saturday mornings from Sept. 12 through Oct. 24 at Townwoods Park. He also reported 24 participants for adult soccer (Sundays, Sept. 6'Oct. 25) and that adult volleyball started Aug. 25 with 43 participants and is scheduled through Dec. 17.

Don described summer programming that concluded earlier in the year (day camp, aftercare, volleyball and basketball camps, beach yoga and soccer camp) and noted coaches'organizing meetings had been postponed due to coach availability. The update framed staffing and facility constraints (available gym time, volunteers, and supervision) as drivers for how youth programs are structured for the coming season.
