Recreation Staff work with volunteers to find a practice slot that works within their schedule. Volunteer coaches select their practice information as they are volunteering their time. Please consider volunteering your time to help ensure a fun, exciting experience for our youth players. If we find ourselves short of coaches, teams still need to be created and some may be left without a coach. In these cases, the start of practices may be delayed until a parent/guardian steps up to lead the team. If leagues end up with more coaches than needed, coaches will be paired up by Recreation Staff.Recreation Basketball (Grades 2 - 8) practices, approximately one hour in length, will be held once per week, Monday - Friday, at various times and locations. Teams may need to split a gymnasium for practices depending on coach availability. Specific requests by families for practice days and times will not be accepted. Families should hear from a coach confirming the team's practice location, day and time by November 22. If a team does not have a volunteer coach, they may not begin practice.Recreation Basketball (Grades 2 - 8) games, approximately one hour in length, will generally be scheduled on Saturdays between the hours of 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM. Sunday games may be scheduled when necessary. Please note that this is a time range in which games may be scheduled. Inter-town, home and away, play may occur in all age groups, with towns including but not limited to Avon, Burlington, Canton, and Harwinton.Recreation teams for grades 2 & 3 and grade 4 will be created based on the number of registrations received.Recreation teams for grades 5 & 6 and grades 7 & 8 will be drafted by volunteer coaches immediately following our player evaluations or, if registration numbers dictate, created based on the number of registrations received (dates below).

Recreation Staff work with volunteers to find a practice slot that works within their schedule. Volunteer coaches select their practice information as they are volunteering their time. Please consider volunteering your time to help ensure a fun, exciting experience for our youth players. If we find ourselves short of coaches, teams still need to be created and some may be left without a coach. In these cases, the start of practices may be delayed until a parent/guardian steps up to lead the team. If leagues end up with more coaches than needed, coaches will be paired up by Recreation Staff.Recreation Basketball (Grades 2 - 8) practices, approximately one hour in length, will be held once per week, Monday - Friday, at various times and locations. Teams may need to split a gymnasium for practices depending on coach availability. Specific requests by families for practice days and times will not be accepted.

I am also a mental health professional by training with a masters degree in social work, and in my fitness classes I aim to emphasize both the mental and physical aspects of your personal health. I believe that all of us are doing the best we can and that we all have the ability to learn about ourselves, grow, and change. I aim for my classes to be a fun, inviting, and refreshing experience for all."FAQIs it ok that I am not a dancer or an athlete?Absolutely. Barre is for everyone and no prior dance or workout experience is necessary. It is a time to meet new friends and move around. What if I have to stop and feed, change, etc. my child?That is fine! We expect that! You jump back in when you are able. My child isn't an infant or toddler, can I still join?Yes. Older children are welcome to join.Policies & General Information

Recreation Staff work with volunteers to find a practice slot that works within their schedule. Volunteer coaches select their practice information as they are volunteering their time. Please consider volunteering your time to help ensure a fun, exciting experience for our youth players. If we find ourselves short of coaches, teams still need to be created and some may be left without a coach. In these cases, the start of practices may be delayed until a parent/guardian steps up to lead the team. If leagues end up with more coaches than needed, coaches will be paired up by Recreation Staff.Recreation Basketball (Grades 2 - 8) practices, approximately one hour in length, will be held once per week, Monday - Friday, at various times and locations. Teams may need to split a gymnasium for practices depending on coach availability. Specific requests by families for practice days and times will not be accepted.
