As the leaves begin to change color, let’s take a look at some of the programs we had over the last few months and the upcoming changes we are anticipating! Riverside Pool has continued to be a great amenity for patrons during the hot summer days. We offered 80 swim lessons courses with a total of 687 total participations. Our Youth Volleyball program has a total of 116 participants. Youth Flag Football has 140 participants. Our Mother Son Dance brought in 108 users. The Thursday Night Live (TNL) Concert Series was a blast with 11 bands, a plethora of entertaining pre show events, and a vast amount of vendors. We have had some great programming these last few months!

As we look forward, we wanted to inform you of upcoming programs. Have you signed your kid up for youth basketball (Pre K to 6th Grade)? The registration deadline is October 8th (page 11)! Get that done right away! We have some fun runs this fall (page 22) including a new scary run at Riverside Park! New at the Fieldhouse, we are offering some new leagues including women’s volleyball (page 14) and Indoor Baseball (page 15). Also, our indoor turf system will be put into Gym 3 in late December for other programs like open use soccer and baseball batting cages (page 13). Staff is excited to offer some unique and new programs and trips, make sure to check them out! So dive into this guide and remember that you can register at the Fieldhouse or online at https:// secure.rec1.com/CO/fort morgan co/catalog

If you have any questions, please come visit us at the Fieldhouse or give us a call at (970) 542-3921. Let’s enjoy this last bit of warm before the cold comes in!

COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENTS

DIRECTORY

All of the City of Fort Morgan’s youth sport leagues are ran by volunteer coaches. This keeps the cost affordable for families so children can play and have fun. Even if you have no coaching experience, please apply! We have the necessary tools to help you provide a great experience for your team. We often do not have enough coaches which delays game schedules and affects the experience for the kids. As a coach, we ask you to focus on three teachings: teach them how to play the game, teach them excellent sportsmanship, and teach them to have fun! Applicants are subject to a background check and a simple concussion training course before coaching. As a perk, each successful season completed as a volunteer coach results in a $35 credit to your account which can be used for future recreation programs. If interested, please let the receptionist know when you are registering your child for a sport or contact us at (970) 542-3921.

Sport programs include:

YOUTH SPORTS POLICIES

UNIFORMS/T SHIRTS

If a program fee includes a uniform for any specific program, sizes will be placed on size given. If the size given and ordered is not satisfactory, and the order was at no fault to the City of Fort Morgan Recreation Department, the individual will be responsible for paying for a different size.

ONE REQUEST

The Recreation Department strives to create fun and challenging opportunities for our youth. To maintain a fair playing field, we only permit one pairing request per individual. If both participants request each other to be on the same team, we will do our best to honor that request. We recommend this request system is used for individuals who may have limited transportation to practices and/or games. This request cannot be for a specific coach! Coaches will be able to coach their child(ren), but not request several friends. This is to avoid unbalanced or “stacked” teams. Please note that requests are not guarantees. We will do our best to honor such requests.

SPORTSMANSHIP

We strive to create memorable and positive experiences for our participants through our sports programs. We remind parents, coaches, players, and spectators that their actions, both positive and negative, have an impact on kids during these activities. Please be mindful to focus on the positive. Also acknowledge that our staff is prone to make the occasional mistake, as we all are. We are here for the kids! Let’s make sure they have fun playing these wonderful sports!

INCLEMENT WEATHER

If fields present an unsafe environment, we will postpone or cancel practices or games. Staff is instructed to error on the side of caution when determining inclement weather.

Call the Recreation Hotline for news on weather cancellation at (970) 542 3928.

PLAYING UP

If the parent would like to consider their child playing up ONE age/grade level, please contact Kolby Wahlert at kolby.wahlert@cityoffortmorgan.com. Please allow one week to process and respond.

Players are not allowed to play down an age/ grade level. Special circumstances will be considered. Please contact Kolby Wahlert at kolby.wahlert@cityoffortmorgan.com. Please allow one week to process and respond.

WAITING LIST

Waiting lists are a source of contact and do not guarantee you will receive a call back. We will contact you if a space becomes available.

COMBINING AGE DIVSIONS

We reserve the right to combine age divisions for any programming dependent on the number of registrations.

AGE/GRADE DETERMINATIONS

The age/grade at the start of the season determines the age/grade bracket for the program. Baseball will use what grade your child will be in the Fall.
