BUDA (Boston Ultimate Disc Alliance) Ultimate Frisbee Clinics BUDA youth frisbee offers fun and competitive frisbee for children in grades K-8. Ultimate Frisbee is a non-contact sport that encourages a lot of running and teamwork. Instead of referees, players are encouraged to learn the rules and make their own calls. Not easy, but a valuable life skill. We use an assortment of adult and high school assistant coaches to give all players a great experience.

Our youth programs use "call your own fee". At checkout, you indicate the right fee for you. No questions, no emails, just your decision to pay what is right for you. We love having new players and don't want finances to stand in the way of young people learning and playing the sport.

Please Note: Registration must be completed through the BUDA website (https://www.buda.org/ en_us/e/youth-ultimatespring-2026).

Mystic Valley Music Together Classes Music Together Music Together believes children learn best in a community environment with adults enthusiastically modeling interest and joy in music. From infants in arms to 5-year-old movers and shakers, we embrace the learning children offer each other.

In class, infants may coo, gurgle, and flex their torsos in response to music. Toddlers shake rattles, bounce to the beat, and sing occasional notes. Three-year-olds often have favorite songs and instruments to play and can lose themselves in music. Four- and five-year-olds like to have an effect on the activity - creating ways to move or inventing new words to songs. They may play teacher and lead the family in their favorite activities at home.

Canta y Baila Conmigo® Everything you love about Music Together... in SPANISH! Canta y Baila is a newer music program that features a deep commitment to offering rich musical experiences within a Spanish cultural and language immersion framework. Music Together is working with Canta y Baila so there's all the developmentally appropriate foundations of music development that Music Together offers - en Espanol! Two great things made better together!

Lexington Pickleball Club The Lexington Pickleball Club (LPC) is a volunteer-run nonprofit club that facilitates, educates, promotes, and supports the playing of pickleball.

2026 Tennis and Pickleball memberships will go on sale beginning Tuesday, March 10th at 6:00am.

Memberships are limited, so be sure to purchase your membership before they sell out!

Online Court Reservations in Lexington!

The Lexington Recreation and Community Programs Department is excited to continue its partnership with PlayLocal, www.playlocal.com, in 2026!

We work with LexRec to offer lessons and sessions for pickleball players to be active and socialize. Open Houses are featured throughout year and open to all residents ages 18+.

Court Reservation Rules & Guidelines: • Courts are available for reservations seven days per week, 8:00am-8:00pm from April 1, 2026 – November 22, 2026.

• There are 10 lighted courts at the Gallagher Courts available for night play with a paid reservation until 9:00pm (reservations must be made by 12:00pm on the day of the reservation)!

• Court reservations may be made up to 2 weeks in advance and the PlayLocal system will launch for the 2026 season on Wednesday, March 18th.

• A person may make only 1 reservation (1 hour/1 court) for any given day.

• Courts will go live on PlayLocal on a rolling basis throughout the season, two weeks before the reservation time. For example, if you want to reserve a court at 9:00am on Wednesday, April 15th, you will be able to reserve the court as of Wednesday, April 1st at 9:00am. Similarly, if you want to reserve a court at 5:00pm on Friday, April 17th, you will be able to reserve the court as of Friday, April 3rd at 5:00pm. This enhancement will prevent people from having to wake up early at 6:00am to make court reservations, which will make the experience more enjoyable and convenient for court users!

• Adams #1 and Adams #2, along with Clarke #3, will be reservable for pickleball play only.

• If you arrive more than 15 minutes late to your reservation, you forfeit use of the court for the entire hour.

• Once you make a reservation, if you are no longer available at that time, please be sure to cancel your reservation ahead of time. Your consideration for fellow tennis/pickleball players is greatly appreciated.

• No refunds are given. Rain checks will be issued.

• Private and semi-private lessons are not allowed on any of the Town courts.

The Forever Fit Program will teach you how to develop strength, increase flexibility, improve balance and agility, build up endurance and reduce stress. There are three components to this program: individual assessments with the instructor, group instruction 2 times a week, and when necessary, personal training sessions offered by our fitness expert, Judy Whitney.

32 OsteofitnessTM with Beverley Ikier and Kerri Powers Osteofitness™: Evidence-Based Strength for Your Bones, Balance, and Independence. Osteofitness™ isn't just another exercise class — it's a research-backed, holistic program designed specifically to prevent and treat osteoporosis. Built on decades of data, including the groundbreaking work of Dr. Miriam Nelson ("Strong Women Stay Young"), Osteofitness™ follows the proven formula: strength training at least twice per week is essential to increase bone mineral density and reduce fracture risk. Anything less simply doesn't produce the physiological changes your bones need.

Why It Works: • Strength training twice weekly has been shown in clinical studies to significantly improve bone density, especially in vulnerable sites like the hips, spine, and wrists — the most common locations for osteoporotic fractures.

• Regular drills improve balance and coordination, key to fall prevention, which is critical since one fracture can lead to longterm loss of independence or even increase mortality risk.

• Guided by certified trainers with expertise in aging and bone health, participants build strength safely with joint-friendly movements adapted for all fitness levels.
