Registration now open for Atascadero ‘Start Smart’ baseball and basketball
–The City of Atascadero Recreation Division will offer “Start Smart” baseball and basketball programs for children ages 3-5. These programs will take place entirely outdoors at the Colony Park Community Center, located on Traffic Way in Atascadero, May 19 through June 23. Start Smart Baseball will be held each Wednesday morning from 10:30-11:30 a.m. and Start Smart Basketball will be held each Wednesday afternoon from 4-5 p.m.
Both Start Smart classes will be held once per week for six weeks, with the exercises becoming increasingly more challenging as the classes progress and the children show improvement. Participants will work one-on-one and spend quality time with their parents, with some guidance from an instructor. The programs are designed to help kids and parents have a positive sports experience together. Both programs teach children the basic motor skills needed to play organized baseball and basketball without the threat of competition or the fear of getting hurt.
COVID-19 guidelines will be followed during these activities. Staff will be required to wear masks and have their temperature taken prior to each class. Every parent/child duo will have their own activity station spaced at least 6′ apart from others and will have their own, non-shared equipment.
Pre-registration is required and can be done online at www.atascadero.org. For more information, call (805) 470-3362 or email [email protected].
