As the winter blankets us with its latest snowy encore, Saint Paul Parks and Recreation is already looking towards the warmer days of spring. They made a move that might seem counterintuitive amidst the current frosty backdrop: spring youth sports registration is officially open. In particular, volleyball and futsal are up for grabs for the energetic youth ready to shake off the chill and dive into some indoor activity.
Here's the drill, for the kids itching to get involved, participation is gratis for those aged 9 and above, rolling with the tag '10U and up.' The city’s generous offer, available across all rec center sites, aims to encourage inclusivity and accessibility in youth sports. However, for the little tykes in the 4U, 6U, and 8U brackets, there's a fee to play ball – or volleyball, that is. But don't fret; Saint Paul Parks and Recreation is offering early bird discounts for those who act fast and quickly to register within the first five days.
Interested parents and guardians can score all the necessary details and links to registration over at the Saint Paul Parks and Recreation's dedicated page. Clearly, the folks at the department are optimistically ready to say goodbye to the snow shovels and hello to sports whistles.
According to the official social media announcement, with a wink to the weather's ironic timing, "Obviously when you get half a foot of snow in the past week that means it's time to think about...spring!" It's a rallying cry for parents to help stir their youngsters from their winter hibernations and embrace a transitional season of fresh starts and athletic endeavors. That said, make to sure to visit www.stpaul.gov/youthsports for all the nitty-gritty on how to get your kids spiking and scoring this spring.
