Councilwoman Crassett addresses youth flag football registration challenges in parks report

The City of Seaford's Mayor and Council Meeting on June 24, 2025, highlighted a pressing need for youth sports coaches as the Parks and Recreation department reached its registration limit for youth flag football. Councilwoman Dr. Stephanie Crassett reported that online registration had to be halted after receiving 110 sign-ups, citing a shortage of available coaches as the primary reason for the cutoff.

Dr. Crassett encouraged community members to step forward if they are interested in coaching, emphasizing that additional coaches could allow for more participants in the program. This call to action aims to enhance youth engagement in sports and ensure that more children can benefit from the program.

In other updates, Vice Mayor Danhners provided a brief report on the Police and Fire departments, noting that he did not receive Chief Wilson's report in time for the meeting but promised to amend it later. Chief Craft's report was submitted as usual, ensuring that the council remains informed on public safety matters.

The meeting underscored the importance of community involvement in local programs and the ongoing efforts to keep residents engaged in recreational activities. As the city looks to expand its youth sports offerings, the need for volunteer coaches remains a critical focus.
