Parks reports steady youth-sports participation; scholarships remain available
Summary
Staff reported fall season participation holding steady and noted limited indoor gym space for winter basketball because the district provides the facility; staff affirmed anonymous scholarships are available to families in need.
Parks staff said fall youth sports are about halfway through and participation is roughly even with last year, with limited incidents reported. Ryan provided counts for current sessions and explained indoor winter basketball is constrained because the department relies on school-district gym availability, which limits the number of teams and games.
Ryan also confirmed scholarships are available for participants in need and described the program as fully anonymous: "I'll be literally, I'll be the person that deals it and I'm the only person I've talked to about it." Staff urged residents to sign up early because indoor space and gym time are limited. The board discussed scheduling to avoid conflicts with school events and county cross-country meets.
