Free event is set for Tuesday, Oct. 25
SALISBURY, Md. – Just Try It offers children an opportunity to try a new sport without having to commit to an entire season. At this Wicomico Recreation & Parks event, youth will have the chance to learn the fundamentals of a sport from representatives of select local youth sport organizations.
“Many times, young children sign up for an entire season of a sport and decide they don’t like it halfway through” said Recreation Superintendent James Simmons. “Just Try It provides an opportunity for parents and children to come out, have a great first experience with a variety of sports and then decide if they want to sign up for a full season.”
This free event is set to take place at the Wicomico Civic Center from 5-8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 25 and is sponsored by the Wicomico Friends of Recreation and Parks.
The following sports and organizations will be a part of Just Try It: Winter Sports:
Basketball, taught by Wicomico Youth Basketball League
Volleyball, taught by Dynamic Volleyball Academy
Wrestling, taught by Parkside High School
Karate, taught by Doran’s Karate Academy
Each organization will be running short clinics throughout the event to introduce multiple aspects of the sports. Participants must be between 3-11 years old.
Music, free ice cream, information about Wicomico Recreation and Parks’ scholarship opportunities and staff from all involved organizations will be on site.
“I’m excited to see this idea come to life and thankful that the Wicomico Friends of Recreation and Parks are supporting it,” said Simmons.
Preregistration is recommended and can be found online at www.WicomicoRecandParks.org.
