Bucksport recreation board confirms soccer pickup, tournaments and next meeting date
Summary
Officials updated schedules for summer pickup soccer, the Downey Showdown basketball tournament (July 10–12) and a soccer Shootout (July 24–26) that needs additional registrations; the board set its next meeting for Oct. 7 at 9 a.m. and adjourned by voice vote.
The Bucksport recreation board reviewed summer programming and brief community event updates.
Activities and dates: the board said summer pickup soccer will run Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. on the middle school field at no cost. The Downey Showdown basketball tournament is scheduled for July 10–12 at the high school and middle school; the Downey Shootout soccer tournament is planned for July 24–26 but organizers said it is short on team registrations and could be in jeopardy without additional sign-ups.
Other events: a June 20 bike race around Silver Lake drew 48 racers and substantial volunteer support; the board recognized long-running volunteers who have participated for decades. New program notes included Pilates classes and an indoor volleyball offering from a local instructor.
Procedural items: the committee confirmed its next meeting for Oct. 7 at 9 a.m. and adjourned by voice vote.
Quote: "It's no cost, but it's just nice to get the community together," a committee member said about pickup soccer.
