Plano Parks and Recreation Summer 2024 Catalog

SUMMER 2024

Registration Begins MAY 4 Session Runs JUNE-AUG

From the Director

When was the last time you shook a stranger’s hand, looked them in the eye, and smiled? Connecting with others in real life isn’t as easy as it once was, mostly because we default to using our smartphones because, well, it’s just easier, right? What did you do the last time you entered an elevator already occupied by someone else? Just like me, you probably began scrolling your phone Although today’s technology can help us feel more connected, it can also keep us apart

In a world where nearly everyone and everything can be found online, how do we build stronger in-person connections? It’s going to take some effort, both individually and collectively, but we at Plano Parks and Recreation are ready to do our part! By providing welcoming and inclusive programs, essential services for all ages and abilities, and safe, accessible spaces to build meaningful connection, Plano Parks and Recreation is ensuring all people can pursue a non-virtual life that is healthy and happy, with some fun mixed in, too .

As the following pages will show, there are countless ways to unplug and reconnect with friends and neighbors right here in Plano Events like our Family Luau in July and the free Play in the Park summer program bring people together, regardless of age or background, for a simple purpose: To have fun and feel good . Studies show that supportive accountability measures help adults achieve their goals in other areas of life . So consider that bit of information the next time you think about making an important and lasting change in your life

I hope this catalog serves as your guide to health and wellness I also hope you make friends along the way Whatever your pleasure, we have something for you

That being said, in the spirit of this year’s National Park and Recreation Month theme, “Where You Belong,” I encourage you to visit our recreation centers and experience the sense of community you’ll find within their walls Consider a family membership for unlimited access to our pools and centers (monthly packages start at just $49 for Plano families) Drop in for a tour and let us know how we can help

Whether you are looking for a summer fun outlet or a path to personal achievement, we are here for you! Lastly, share how parks and recreation has improved your life on social media using #WhereYouBelong this summer . But don’t forget to put that phone down afterward .

Here’s to fun and friendship—have a safe summer!

CHOLESTEROL MATTERS: BE HEART HEALTHY

A low-fat diet can help you maintain desirable cholesterol levels. The convenience of fast food, hidden fats in many foods, and taste preferences make choosing low-fat, low-calorie foods difficult.

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.

RESERVATIONS

Online court reservations are now available. Or, you can make them in person or by telephone at (972- 941-7170, option 4) between 9 am and closing. A person may have only one reservation at a time (you must finish your first reservation before a second reservation can be made).

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.
