Parks report: basketball registration, programs and scholarship outreach
Summary
Parks staff reported late registration for basketball will likely yield about 110–115 children; the parks scholarship fund is being promoted through rental and registration pages to help families afford participation.
Parks staff gave an update on fall and winter programming, saying they wrapped up soccer and flag football with no major issues and have moved into late registration for basketball. Staff said they expect about 110–115 children to be signed up by the end of the week and asked the board to help recruit volunteer coaches for the 3rd and 4th grade divisions.
The parks team said the scholarship fund (described as a "scholarship fund" rather than the earlier program name) is promoted on the department website and on rental/registration pages; staff said every person who rents a shelter or registers for an activity on the city portal is asked to consider a donation. Staff did not provide a definitive dollar total for the scholarship fund during the meeting.
