WELCOME

From the Director Plano Parks & Recreation is pleased to offer another season of wholesome, funfilled recreational activities and programs to the Plano community. Throughout my life and career, I have grown to know that play, in all of its forms and fashions, is a powerful influencer for good. It helps promote social, physical and emotional balance and well-being, not just in childhood, but throughout all stages of life. Whatever one’s pleasure, play is an essential component for a rich, fulfilling and rewarding life.

Because Plano Parks & Recreation understands this, great care and consideration is taken in the provision of Plano’s recreation programs. The Fall Recreation catalog can serve as a guide to improving individual and familial health and wellness with its wide array of programs and classes.

Whether trying something new, rediscovering the forgotten hobby, or looking to expand social circles, there are plenty of options for every member of the family inside this fall edition.

The coming of fall also means the return of some of Plano’s favorite events (see Pages 2 and 83): Boo Bash at Tom Muehlenbeck Recreation Center on Oct. 26, the Holiday Market on Nov. 18-19, and Breakfast with Santa at Carpenter Park Recreation Center on Dec. 9 are some of my favorites, that I’m sure your family will enjoy, too so mark your calendars!

But these are just some of the family-oriented events planned for this fall. See more of what’s in store on page 25.

Finally, stay up-to-date on other department news by signing up for the Department’s e-newsletter at planoparks.org; follow on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Have a question or would like to send in feedback? Call 972-941-7250 or email parksinfo@plano.gov.

NEW! CHOLESTEROL MATTERS: BE HEART HEALTHY

A low-fat diet can help you maintain desirable cholesterol levels, but the convenience of fast food, hidden fats in many foods, and taste preferences make choosing low-fat, low-calorie foods difficult. If levels of LDL cholesterol are too high, or levels of HDL cholesterol are too low, fatty deposits build up in your blood vessels. These deposits will make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries. This could cause problems throughout your body, particularly in your heart and brain, or it could be fatal. Learn what you need to know to take the actions you need to help protect yourself!

INSTRUCTION

The student/coach ratio is 4:1 for all classes ages 5-10. The ratio is 6:1 for classes ages 11 and up. To avoid cancellation of a class, a class may “make” with less than the minimum number of students, but with a reduced number of sessions. Classes at the same level and similar age groups may be combined at the discretion of High Point staff. Any group of two or more players may schedule a private class by contacting High Point staff at 972-941-7170.

Group lessons are very popular and some classes fill very quickly.

To assure a continuous chain of instruction, we recommend that students enroll for multiple sessions at the time of initial registration.

For example, a student should enroll for a Beginner session in the first session, an Advanced Beginner I group in the second session, and an Advanced Beginner II group in the third session.

10 & UNDER TENNIS

High Point participates year round in the QuickStart Tennis play format, a program designed to help children learn, rally, and play quickly. Using shorter and lighter racquets, balls that are easy to keep in play, and court dimensions tailored to smaller players, youngsters from ages 5-10 pick up the game very quickly. In a short time, young players are able to keep the ball in play and play points just like older and more experienced players. In time, as students’ games improve and as they mature physically, they move to traditional rackets, balls, and courts. QuickStart is a great way to introduce children to the great game of tennis.

ADVANCEMENT FROM COURSE TO COURSE

We encourage players to continue learning and playing in progressively more challenging courses. The goal is to have students playing tennis (in some form) as soon as possible. As a player improves, more course time is spent on point-play like situations. For children, the instructional/play sequence is: Beginner or Pee Wee I lessons (depending on age of child), Advanced Beginner or Pee Wee II lessons, and Future Stars or Pre Junior Development (Play and Instructional Programs), Competitive and High Performance.

For teens, the sequence is Beginner, Advanced Beginner I, Advanced Beginner II, Learn N Play, Future Stars, Competitive and High Performance. For adults, the sequence is: Beginner, Advanced Beginner, Learn and Play, High Point intra-facility leagues, Tennis Competitor of Dallas Leagues USTA Adult Leagues and Metro Leagues.
