Hey, Coon Rapids parents! If you're looking to pry those game controllers from your kids' hands and get them some fresh air, look no further than Sand Creek Park. Starting this spring, your little athletes can kick, bat, and catch their way through summer with a lineup of sports camps guaranteed to tire out even the most energetic youngsters.
The city’s Parks and Recreation team is rolling out soccer, baseball, and flag football programs for kids ages 2 through 9, and the best part? They're supplying all the gear, so you won't have to scramble for equipment. Keeping things cozy, class sizes are being kept smaller than your kid's attention span for non-digital fun—yes, that means heaps of action for each pint-sized participant and less sideline bench-warming, according to the Coon Rapid Minnesota.
But it's not just about giving the kids a run for their money, it’s also about skill-building—the type of skill-building that might keep them from turning into couch potatoes during those school breaks. From dribbling to pitching, your mini-Messis and pint-sized Pelés will learn the ropes of teamwork and sportsmanship without even realizing they're doing something healthy because they'll be too busy having a blast.
Excited to sign up for your all-stars? All the deets for registration are tucked away in the 2024 Parks & Recreation Guide, it's like a treasure map for parents looking to plan their kids' spring and summer activities you can snag your copy or sneak a peek online, and let's be real, we know you're already on your phone, as per the Coon Rapids Minnesota.
