Little sluggers learning baseball Classes held weekly for 3- to 5-year-olds BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Young children scampered around as they headed for the April 15 Englewood Parks and Recreation
Department’s Peewee sports class titled Little Sluggers. As the name indicates, the class is about baseball. It is one of three programs for 3- to 5-year-olds. The others are Little Kickers, about soccer, and the Sports Sampler, a chance to learn a little bit about soccer, T-ball, flag football and basketball. Programs introducing young children to sports have long been a part
of the parks and recreation department programs. The classes were once known as Start Smart. The name has changed but the concept is the same. Currently, a parent signs his or her child up for four classes with three sets of classes per calendar quarter.
The suspect in a 2015 shooting at an Englewood apartment has been found guilty on three of the four charges he faced. The trial of 34-year-old Philo Roberts-Bicking concluded April 21 when the jury returned a verdict of guilty on the class 2 felony charge of second-degree attempted murder as well as guilty of first-degree as- Robertssault with a deadly weapon Bicking and felony menacing. He was found not guilty of second degree assault. Eighteenth Judicial District Judge J. Stephen Collins ordered Roberts-Bicking be taken in custody and held until his sentencing hearing June 23.
