Want to Try It? We have expanded the Try It program to include some children’s classes.

TRY IT!

If a class you are interested in has the Try It! alongside the class listing in the Activity Guide, you are welcome to drop in to the first class meeting and try it free of charge, if space is available at the start of class.

Terms & Conditions: Try It! is only available for the first class meeting of the term and only to new students. Try It! customers who would like to continue with the class must register at full price prior to the second class meeting and bring their receipt to the second class as proof of registration.

Try It! is currently only available for certain, designated classes. Adult Try It! students and parents/guardians of minor Try It! Students must sign the class liability waiver before the student will be permitted to participate. Minors unaccompanied by their parent or guardian will not be permitted to participate. Please note, trying a class does not assure you a spot in the class. The class may fill up before you decide to register.

TRY IT!

(1.5 – 3 years)

A structured basic movement class for the young child, built around imaginative themes and gymnastics activities. A parent is required to participate in assisting the enrolled child, under the direction of the teacher. Only 1 participating child per parent. Siblings are not allowed in the gym during class time.

We ask family & friends to remain outside the gym during class time to avoid distractions for our students, except for the following: 1) At least one parent is required to remain present near and possibly observe in any class where only one staff member is coaching, 2) the parents of new students may stay during the first class of each session, 3) when a coach allows or invites a parent to stay. All are invited to observe the last class of each session and non-participating siblings must be supervised at all times during observation. Thank you for your cooperation.

Super Safari is a play-based program designed to provide children with their first experience in a structured environment. Super Safari runs September through early June, following the Sunnyvale School District holiday schedule. Our goal is to encourage your child’s imagination and creativity through a play-based learning environment. Our experience staff will lead a variety of hands-on activities in art, language, storytelling, math readiness, circle time and music movement. Children must be toilet trained by the first day of class. For detailed information on class programs, days and times, visit Preschool.inSunnyvale.com.

Futsal is a fun, fast-paced 5v5 soccer game, played indoors within the lines of a basketball court (no walls), using a small, size 3, low-bounce ball. In this class players participate in fun educational games. Classes focus on increasing balance, coordination and fundamental futsal skills. We utilize creative fun activities to help kids to cooperate in a group setting and build self esteem in our fun low-pressure environment.

Volunteer Opportunities

*No class 11/25

Do you have a little time to help out? Volunteering as little as an hour or two a week can make a big difference to the City of Sunnyvale’s Community Services division. You can help us serve more children, families, seniors and teens, provide a wider variety of arts, sports and special interest programming, let more people in the community know about our programs and work more efficiently with limited resources.

You’ll benefit, too. You’ll be doing something meaningful.

Share your talents. Keep your skills sharp. Learn something new. Add valuable experience to your resume. Meet new people. Earn community service credits for your volunteer work. And have fun!

We have opportunities for volunteers 13 and older.

Please note, adult volunteers (age 18 and older) must be fingerprinted and pass a Department of Justice background check. For special events and other timesensitive opportunities, we recommend applying three weeks in advance. Teen volunteers (ages 13 – 17) must present consent form in order to volunteer.

My First Art Class

Winter 2014 Volunteer Opportunities: • Columbia Neighborhood Center, volunteer yoga instructor • Community Services, outreach table staff • Library, teen homework helper • Senior Lunch Program, kitchen help, ongoing • Senior Center Computer Lab, ongoing • Senior Center Current Events Instructor, ongoing • Sunnyvale Youth Basketball League, coaches

Developmental assets are the positive values, relationships, skills and experiences that help children and teens thrive. Young people with high asset levels are most likely to make healthy choices and develop into successful adults, while those with lower asset levels are more likely to get involved with negative or risky behaviors.

These are just some of the volunteer opportunities available. Additional opportunities with the Community Services Division and other City of Sunnyvale divisions are listed online.

Project Cornerstone, a YMCA of Silicon Valley initiative, has partnered with local organizations, including City of Sunnyvale, to identify and promote the 41 Developmental Assets in youth programs. The 41 Developmental Assets are divided into eight categories, including: Support, Empowerment, Boundaries and Expectations, Constructive Use of Time, Commitment to Learning, Positive Values, Social Competencies and Positive Identity. By incorporating a variety of Developmental Assets into each program or activity, we can measure and monitor young people’s readiness for life after high school, including college and career choices – and it all starts as early as preschool. The full list of 41 Developmental Assets may be found online at www.projectcornerstone.org.

Sunnyvale is proud to feature several developmental assets in each of the youth programs we offer. As you browse through this Activity Guide, be on the lookout for our 41 Developmental Assets logo for more on how Sunnyvale’s youth programs support this important initiative.

Gymnastics

(6 – 16 years)

This is a co-ed recreational class for beginners. No previous experience is required.

This class focuses on both men’s and women’s events and skills, including floor exercise, pommel horse, eneven and horizontal bars, vault, balance beam, and parallel bars. Strength and flexibility development are integral parts of the class.

Your son will focus on skills and routines on floor exercise, pommel horse, vault, parallel bars, high bar, and trampoline. In addition, coaches help students develop strength and flexibility. Coaches help students develop strength and flexibility using skill cards to track student progress. A signed certificate will show proof of level readiness before moving to intermediate or advanced levels. On average, students take 1 year to complete a level. We recommend students attend year-round or two days per week to increase the rate of learning.

Girls classes focus on skills and routines on vault, uneven bars, balance beam, floor exercises, and trampoline. In addition, coaches help students develop strength and flexibility. Coaches utilize skill cards to track student progress, and a signed certificate will show proof of level readiness before moving up. On average, students take 1 year to complete a level; we recommend students attend year ‘round or two days per week to increase the rate of learning.

*We ask family & friends to remain outside the gym during class times to reduce distractions for our students, except for: 1) at least one parent will be asked to stay and observe any environment with only one staff member, 2) parents of new students may stay during the first class, 3) if a staff member asks a parent to stay.

We encourage all parents to observe the last class of each session.

Van Anh Vo

The County Line Trio

Emmy Award-winning composer and Vietnamese dan tranh zither master Van-Anh Vo introduces audiences to the gorgeous traditional music and unique instruments of her native county, including the monochord bao, bamboo xylophone and k’long put. Film fans may know her work from Balinao 52, Daughter from Danang and Village Called Versailles. Vo was recently named a 2014 Silicon Valley Artist Laureate for her dramatic stage performances, which are “fascinating to hear and fun to watch.”

After selling out here in 2012, the County Line Trio is back with more hits from the Kingston Trio. Still the record-holder for most albums simultaneously on the Billboard Top Ten, the Kingston Trio’s phenomenal popularity spurred the 1960s revival of American folk music. The County Line Trio’s polished harmonies, acoustic guitar and banjo and comic banter recreate musical history, with faithful renditions of favorites like “Tom Dooley” and “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?”

The Red Hot Chachkas

Dustbowl Revival

A longtime Bay Area favorite, the Red Hot Chachkas have stirred up a unique recipe for upbeat klezmer music that’s perfect for this festive time of year. While the band members share a deep commitment to the traditional Old World roots of klezmer, each also adds his or her own flavor – classical violin, soulful clarinet, Balkan accordion, old-timey mandolin, and jazzy bass and drum rhythms from around the world.

With critical acclaim from both coasts, Dustbowl Revival is taking the roots music scene by storm. Recently voted Best Live Band in Los Angeles, it merges old school bluegrass, gospel, jug band, swamp blues and hot 1930s swing. No two shows are exactly alike, as this collective “little big band” often includes fiddle, mandolin, trombone, clarinet, trumpet, ukulele, drums, tuba, a bass made from a canoe oar, harmonica, washboard and a kazoo for good luck.

James Garner

Golden Bough

A devoted, lifelong fan, James Garner’s Tribute to Johnny Cash celebrates the life and music of the Man in Black with strong conviction and stunning accuracy. Garner and his band recreate Cash’s biggest hits, including “Folsom Prison Blues,” “I Walk the Line,” and “Ring of Fire” and incorporate historical accounts and personal anecdotes about America’s most beloved singing storyteller in this not-to-bemissed musical event. This is the ideal Valentine for Johnny Cash lovers!

Sunnyvale audiences can consider themselves lucky indeed, as acclaimed Celtic trio Golden Bough returns this St. Patrick’s Day weekend with an all-Irish program. Lively jigs, reels and hornpipes transport listeners to a country pub or dance hall, as Golden Bough performs on an array of traditional instruments, including Celtic harp, Irish fiddle, mandolin, recorder, accordion, bodhran and pennywhistle.

Known for its pristine three-part vocal harmony, Golden Bough is celebrating 35 years of performing together.

Houston Jones

Sunnyvale Theatre

Powerful and loud, Houston Jones revs up the stage with a killer acoustic finale – outstanding original Americana that mixes bluegrass, folk, blues and gospel. The San Francisco Chronicle called Houston Jones “a confluence of sublime talent.” This East Bay band, which includes former members of The Waybacks, has also won rave reviews from NPR’s West Coast Live, Dirty Linen Magazine, and wowed music festival audiences at Telluride, Sisters, American River, Mill Pond and Strawberry.

“Why are parks important to you?” The California Parks and Recreation Society (CPRS) conducted an extensive survey asking Californians that question and identified these top reasons: access to nature, outdoor space for play and exercise, facilities for self-directed and organized recreations, positive alternatives for youth which lower crime and mischief, and activities that facilitate social connection, human development, therapy, the arts and lifelong learning.
