The Director’s Court spring • 2016 If you are like the majority of people in the United States, you’ve made getting healthier part of your New Year’s resolution. Whether your goal is to lose weight or reduce stress, research shows that people who spend time outside in nature are healthier both mentally and physically. We invite you to incorporate visits to your parks as part of your path to better health. Redding Parks & Recreation is the gateway to a healthy, prosperous and connected community. On any given day, someone is being positively affected through parks and recreation, whether they are taking a walk on a trail or fitness class at one of our facilities, enjoying one of our many programs or just reaping the benefits of clean air and water because of preserved open space. The benefits that your local parks and recreation bring to their communities are demonstrated with the National Recreation & Parks Association’s Three Pillars: Conservation Parks are dedicated to preserving natural resources in the community. Local and regional parks play a leadership role in protecting open space, connecting children to nature and providing education and programming that help communities engage in conservation practices. Health and wellness Local and regional parks are on the forefront of improving the health and wellness of their community’s citizens. Beyond promoting physical activity with their vast networks of open space, athletic facilities and trail systems, local and regional parks combat poor nutrition, hunger, obesity and physical inactivity. Social equity Local and regional parks are treasured resources that are available to everyone, regardless of age, race and income. Local and regional park agencies ensure that all members of the community have access to open space and recreational opportunities. Be Active and Be Well,

youth sports Winning Edge Quarterback & Receiver Camp

Youth Rugby Grades K-8

Ages 10 and older

Providing Quarterbacks and Receivers the technical, physical and leadership tools that they need to succeed! According to Coach Smith “The Quarterback position is perhaps the most difficult position to play. It’s also the most under coached. No matter how talented the athlete is playing quarterback requires a strong foundation built on proper mechanics. It’s also a LEADERSHIP position! To be a great Quarterback you have to be a strong leader who has been trained as one because there is no such thing as a born leader.” Coach Smith’s camp not only teaches proper fundamentals required for becoming an elite quarterback or receiver but also places heavy emphasis on leadership and character development. Bring water & cleats / QB’s bring football,Wrist Bands, and Lanyards provided. Conducted by Eric Smith, former NCAA Division-1 Quarterback and High School Coach. Quarterbacks will learn stance, voice, drops from center and shotgun, proper footwork for pocket mobility, proper throwing mechanics, throwing on the run, play action, option techniques, eye discipline, defensive recognition, leadership skills and drills for self-improvement. Slow motion video analysis will also be included. Recievers will learn stance, release, going into and coming breaks, route running theory, using leverage to gain an advantage, proper catching mechanics, eye discipline and drills for self-improvement.

If you have not already done so, log on to www.reddingrecreation.org to register for most classes, camps, sports leagues and events. Follow the easy steps on the online tutorial and you will be on your way to experiencing all that Redding Recreation has to offer.

WALK-IN REGISTRATION The Recreation Office is located at 777 Cypress Avenue, second floor. Office hours are Monday - Friday, 8:00 am-5:00 pm (closed some holidays).

PHONE-IN REGISTRATION We are now accepting Visa, Discover, or Master Card.

REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

• Pre-registration, prior to first class, and full payment is required for all activities, unless otherwise stated. • Please register one week before class begins so class materials may be prepared by instructor.

Fee Assistance Program • We offer fee assistance for qualified low-income City of Redding residents (17 years and younger) for many classes & sports leagues. For more information on fee assistance availability call 225-4095.

General Procedures • A $25 fee will be charged for returned checks in addition to the check amount. • Classes will be cancelled 3-8 days before first class due to insufficient enrollment. Register early to assure your class choice. • Missed classes may not be made up. Class make-ups will be arranged only when Redding Recreation cancels an activity. • In the event your desired class is closed, be sure to request that your name be put on a waiting list. This enables Redding Recreation to document interest, begin new classes, and if possible, to meet greater demand.

POLICIES, WAIVER, RELEASE OF LIABILITY DISCLAIMER

For individuals needing special accommodation to participate in the activities sponsored by the City of Redding, please notify the Division at least (5) five working days prior to the first day of attendance. It’s recommended that all participants carry their own insurance coverage.

Waiver: In consideration for being allowed to participate in City of Redding recreational programs, I accept the terms and conditions required for participation, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless the City of Redding, its employees, agents, volunteers, officials and officers (collectively the “City”) from and against any injury, damage, claims, actions or suits arising out of my participation, or that of the child listed below, including those caused by negligence of the City and/or any dangerous condition of property of the City and further agree to defend and indemnify the City from and against any injury, damage, claims, actions or suits arising out of or connected with my participation or that of the child listed below. I further agree to take responsibility to insure all registered minor child(ren) and assume all risks for any injuries received. I expressly acknowledge that there are risks to my health and safety, or that of the child listed below, and agree to be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred.I further represent and warrant that I am advised of the existence of California Civil Code § 1542, which provides as follows: A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor. Notwithstanding this provision, this will constitute a full release in accordance with its terms. I knowingly and voluntarily waive the provisions of Section 1542, as well as any other statute, law or rule of similar effect, and acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of my participation or that of the child listed below.

Refunds: Full refunds will be processed for any activity cancelled by Redding Recreation. Refunds for any other reason must be requested by completing a Request for Refund form seven (7) days prior to the first day of the program. A $7.00 CANCELLATION FEE will be deducted from each program refunded. Refunds will be processed to the original transaction type and payee. Refunds take approximately three weeks for processing. Payee/participant may also request an account credit that is processed immediately.

Transfers: Participants may request a transfer to another program seven (7) days prior to the first class meeting, provided the fee for the new program is equal to or greater than the original program fee. The program to which the participant is transferring must also be offered in the current activity guide at the time of the request.

Consent to photograph, film, or record: Adults, and minor child(ren) registered by an adult, agree to allow designated City of Redding Staff to photograph, film, or voice record them during Redding Recreation activities/classes for use in promotional materials, publications, website, and any other informational pieces.

Severability: If any term clause or provision of this Waiver, Release of Liability and Disclaimer is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Release of Liability shall not be affected thereby, and shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. I have read and understand the above agreement and fully assume all risks for any injuries. It is understood that the City of Redding does not provide health or accident insurance for participants. Consent is given for the leader in charge to perform first-aid or take any other emergency action he/she deems necessary in his/her best judgment.
