Just for the Be Active Montgomery!

All too soon the blustery winds of Winter will be with us and it can be tough to stick with your exercise program. The shortage of daylight, the cold weather and strong urge to stay in your nice warm bed can all work against you as you try to stay focused on your workouts. That means being stuck indoors, or shivering outdoors.

While winter does offer a variety of outdoor activities like skiing, ice skating and sledding, not all of us have access or enjoy those types of activities. The way to stay motivated during the winter is to, first, make it as easy as possible to do your workouts. We can help. First, we have multiple locations (pools and community centers) throughout Montgomery County, you can work out near your home, near your work, or anywhere else that’s convenient. Second, now it’s easier than every to purchase a pool pass or exercise membership right from your home on RecWeb. RecWeb is available 24/7 at recweb.montgomerycountymd.gov. It’s easy, it’s green, it the way to go!

To celebrate our online membership pass sales, we’re offering our brand new Total Rec pass. It’s the ultimate exercise membership. You can swim, exercise in a fully-equipped exercise room, enjoy a pick up basketball game in an indoor gym, or even shoot some pool! Total Rec Passholders have access to all Montgomery County Recreation facilities, including Indoor and Outdoor Pools, Community Center Exercise Rooms, Open Gym activities, and Game Rooms for an entire year.

The Total Rec pass has it all! The Total Rec pass saves you 10% over the cost of purchasing each of these memberships separately. And we have special discount pricing for family passes, passes for two people, and passes for active seniors age 55+.

“Fit N Play”: A pass is for the exercise enthusiast! It includes use of the Exercise Room, participation in Open Gym Activities, and Game Room access at any of our Recreation Community Centers during normally scheduled hours.

“Gym Rat”: You know who you are! You don’t want to pay to use the pool or fancy workout equipment. You just want to get in the gym and sweat, matching wits with other Gym Rats during a game of pick up basketball, volleyball, or badminton. It includes participation in Open Gym activities and Game Room access to all Montgomery County Recreation Community Centers.

“All Pool”: A pass for all you dedicated swimmers out there. All Pool passholders have access to our four indoor pools all year long, and to our seven outdoor pools during the summer. Special discount pricing for family passes, passes for two people, and passes for Boomers and seniors age 55+. Swim in winter, swim in summer, swim all year long - this is the pass for you!

“Summer Swim”: Hey you! You with the flip flops! If your idea of a perfect summer is sitting poolside in the warm summer sunshine, then Summer Swim pass is for you! Passholders have access to our seven outdoor pools from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. Special discount pricing for family passes, passes for two people, and passes for Boomers and seniors age 55+.

“Senior Sneaker”: An annual pass for Boomers and seniors age 55 or older. Senior Sneaker is good for access to any Community Center Exercise Room and Open Gym between the hours of 9:00am and 3:00pm during the Center’s normally scheduled hours.

Competitive Programs

Competitive Programs Rockville Montgomery Swim Club

This year-round, United States Swimming (USAS) affiliated, age group and senior swim team competes through Potomac Valley Swimming (PVS), which is the local swim committee (LSC) for USAS. RMSC offers a rewarding training and competitive experience to swimmers of all ability and interest levels through a schedule of flexible practice times.

Swimmers new to the program must attend a skill assessment and group placement evaluation at the pool of their choice. Coaches will assign practice groups depending on skill level. Swimmers may not begin to practice with their designated group until all registration forms have been completed and all fees have been paid in full. Entry into advanced level groups is available by coaches’ invitation only. Those who participated in the program last year may register only for the group with which they practiced last year. No swimmer may change group assignment unless instructed to do so by a coach. The Fall/Winter session of RMSC runs September 2011 to March 2012.

For fastest registration priority, use RecWeb, or register in person!

The Recreation Department offers four ways to register for activities: RecWeb internet registration, walk-in registration, mail, and fax.

See page 138 for more information about each of these registration procedures.

A note about fax and mailed registrations: Our Customer Service representatives process faxed and mailed registrations as quickly as possible; but we cannot guarantee that these registrations will be processed immediately upon receipt. If there are walk-in customers at the Customer Service window when faxed or mailed registrations are received, the walk-in customers are served before the faxed or mailed registrations are processed. If faxed or mailed registration forms are received prior to the first official day of registration, these forms will be secured in a safe until registration begins. At that time, the faxed or mailed registrations will be processed, but may not necessarily be processed in the strict order that they were received, and all will be treated as if they arrived on the first day of registration.

Cooking

Ages 21 and up: This class will concentrate on wine etiquette, vocabulary, debunking wine myths, and how to learn to impress your guests or clients, and even more importantly, how to match your favorite wines with food.

Wines tasted will relate to the myths such as: certain varietals are always sweet, chardonnay is always oaky, legs indicate quality. Ever wonder how to taste wine like a pro, read a French wine label or tell the difference between Barolo, Barbera and Brunello? If so, this is the wine class for you. This class combines a complete cooking experience along with the selected wines. The students first prepare three different dishes in a full participation cooking class, each of which is then paired with three different wines. That’s nine wines total that will be tasted during the course of the evening’s class.

Ages 21 and up: We will be preparing the ultimate comfort foods, including a four cheese mac & cheese with grilled tuna and grilled chicken; an old winter-fashioned favorite, real beef stew and a cold weather favorite of fresh fried oysters, clams, shrimp and fish filets finished with a homemade cocktail sauce. And don’t forget that it is now Port season, and when it comes to dessert, one ingredient single-handedly puts the C in Comfort – Chocolate. Give me some good chocolate and a glass of non-vintage Port, and I’ll give you a big fat purpletoothed smile. This class features take home recipes as well as plenty to eat!

Nature Everywhere:

Environmental Education in the Schoolyard Montgomery Parks’ Nature Centers have long been a favorite field trip destination for school children and their teachers.

However, in recent years, our Park Naturalists have been the ones taking the field trips, bringing the Nature Everywhere environmental education program with them to the schoolyard. Over the past two years, Montgomery Parks’ Naturalists conducted 158 Nature Everywhere programs at county schools, reaching more than 4,600 students.

During outreach programs students discover that indeed nature is everywhere!

Science curriculum topics including weather, living things, plants, butterflies and ecosystems are all covered, and students never have to leave school grounds. With the growing demand for outreach programs, Montgomery Parks’ Nature Center staff stands ready to help teachers meet curriculum changes outlined in the recently approved Maryland Environmental Literacy Standards.

Naturalist-led programs are designed to be cross-curricular, complementing Montgomery County Public School’s new Elementary Integrated Curriculum (EIC).

Our schoolyard programs not only teach kids about the natural environment, but also help them increase their vocabulary, apply mathematics as they gather data, and develop critical thinking skills while making scientific observations and predictions.

Locust Grove Nature Center

New Moon Hike

2/7

Montgomery Parks recently designated Locust Grove an outreach center, and programs at schools will remain a priority.

To ensure that Nature Everywhere programs continue to meet teachers’ needs, Locust Grove Nature Center Naturalists Leslie Sturges and Brady Hartley have created an Advisory Committee of school teachers and environmental educators.

Schools can also continue to visit any one of the four Montgomery Parks Nature Centers for educational programs.

Visit www.LocustGroveNature.org to learn about programs available at the Nature Center and in the schoolyard. Please check for updates on our website as we respond to the demand for outreach by continuing to develop exciting, innovative programs.

USTA 10 and Under Tennis It’s not remedial and not just for beginners– it’s real tennis, tailored to a child’s size (just like other youth sports like soccer, basketball and baseball have done for years).

Using the QuickStart Tennis play format, the classes use racquets, balls and courts that are sized right for kids so that they learn, rally, play, compete and enjoy the game right from the start. The courts are smaller (but still to scale); the balls are lighter, slower-moving and easier to hit; and racquets are smaller and lighter.

All classes include warm-up and cooldown activities, skill review and practice, and team games that reinforce tennis skills and tactics. For more information, visit www.10andUnderTennis.com, and sign up for a class today at www.ParkPASS.org

Beginner, USTA

For pre-teen beginners, we’ve taken the exciting new “10 and Under Tennis” program and adapted it for kids 11-13. The difference between this and other beginning tennis programs? Everything is right-sized for the age group: racquets are lighter and smaller, balls are less bouncy and easier to hit, and courts are smaller (but proportionate) than adult courts. The benefits are immediate. Within an hour kids are rallying, having fun and psyched for more. They’re playing real tennis and having real fun. See p.133 for more details on “10 and Under Tennis,” and sign up today!

Round Robin Doubles at Wheaton Indoor Tennis Test your tennis prowess, meet new people and have some fun at Wheaton Indoor Tennis on Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday mornings! You’ll play up to three pro sets (eight games per set; winners move up a court, losers move down a court) each night. No need to bring a partner; we'll match you up with a player of comparable skill. Round Robin Doubles are offered at two skill levels; please check the course to make sure you're registering for your skill level.

•

Level 3.0 and above

•

You play at least once a week, and hit medium-paced shots consistently. You've found your strike zone, and can return most balls hit into your strike zone standing still. Your first serves are good but not very powerful, and you're starting to really compete. You'd like to work on different strokes, increased control, and better shot placement, depth and power.

at Pauline Betz Addie Tennis Center This one's for all you tennis players out there who still have energy to burn late at night!

We're saving courts just for you, and giving you a substantial discount on court time to boot. (The regular spot time fee for Friday from 11pm on is $24 per hour, so this saves you more than 50%!) Most people bring partners with them who play at a comparable skill level, but if you need a partner, we've set aside this time for players at Level 2.0 and above (per MCTA/USTA standards) to make it easier for you to find players at your level.

It’s a Whole New Ball Game for in Montgomery Parks!

It’s real tennis, tailored just for kids.

(Finally! Baseball, soccer and basketball have had kid-sized programs for years.) In 10 and Under Tennis, the smaller courts are easier to cover; the smaller, lighter racquets fit a child’s hand; and low-bouncing, lighter balls are a little easier to hit. Created by the United States Tennis Association (USTA), this ground-breaking new program helps kids and beginning players learn tennis more quickly, and have more fun while they’re learning!

Montgomery Parks is pleased to be a part of this new national program, offering classes using the new guidelines for kids 10 and under and ages 11-13 Find out more at 10andUnderTennis.com, and sign up for real tennis fun today!

Registration for December classes opens November 28/29.

Visit ParkPASS.org (Programs/Activities tab > Advanced Search > keyword “USTA”) to find a full list of classes.
