Recreation staff outlines new programs: star party, youth soccer franchise, fitness challenge and junior clay-court tennis
Summary
Recreation staff reported new and returning programs including a star party, nutrition workshop attendance figures, a noncompetitive I9 youth soccer franchise for ages 3–13, Shark Fitness Challenge on May 10, and junior clay-court tennis beginning May 16.
At the March 24 meeting, Proxmire Creation’s parks committee heard a report on a busy upcoming recreation calendar from recreation staff member Lisa Phillips.
Phillips, identified at previous meetings as recreation staff, summarized programs and attendance: the recent star party drew more than 50 attendees, and the nutrition workshop series drew about 23–25 participants at its prior session. "We had 25 at the last [nutrition] one," Phillips said.
Among new offerings, the city will pilot a noncompetitive youth soccer program run by I9 Sports for ages 3–13; the local franchisee is a Sebastian resident. Phillips said the franchise is a regional operation that serves Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties and will introduce soccer programming in Sebastian where recreational soccer does not currently exist.
The Shark Fitness Challenge is scheduled for May 10 at Twin Piers/Riverview and will expand a gym-based fitness event to a larger public venue, Phillips said, with partners including Church Coast Fitness. Junior clay-court tennis tournaments for children 12 and under are planned, with the first event the weekend of May 16; organizers sought out Sebastian because of the availability of public clay courts.
Staff did not request policy votes during the report; the items were informational and will move forward through program registration and event planning.
