Fall Welcome from Shelly Strasser

Director of Recreation & Community Services The WAWM RCS team is often referred to as the “Fun People.” We wear that as a badge of honor, do not take it lightly and view it as our call to serve. With that, we created a full line-up of fall programs and services for you, your family and your community, that we hope are fun, bring some joy and help everyone live life to their fullest.

The fall is a brand new season and we encourage everyone to take advantage of the opportunities we have to share so that you can live your life in a good way, reconnect and experience the joy of living. Each minute, hour, day, month and year is a chance to acknowledge all that life has to offer, a chance to reconnect, a chance to find joy and a chance to live your best life.

We leave you with this - In the book “The Wisdom of No Escape: And the Path of Loving Kindness,” Pema Chodron, shares: “The Navajo teach their children that every morning when the sun comes up, it's a brand-new sun. It's born each morning, it lives for the duration of one day, and in the evening it passes on, never to return again. As soon as the children are old enough to understand, the adults take them out at dawn and they say, “The sun has only one day. You must live this day in a good way, so that the sun won't have wasted precious time.” Acknowledging the preciousness of each day is a good way to live, a good way to reconnect with our basic joy.”

Your WAWM RCS Team looks forward to seeing you and your family this fall in our programs.

YOUTH SPORTS

WAWM RCS Youth Sports Philosophy All of our youth sports leagues are driven by a clear set of core values:

INCLUSION

Regardless of a child’s level of skill or background there is a place for them here.

BALANCE

Every program we offer features reasonable time commitments.

SKILL DEVELOPMENT

We will provide structured, progressive lesson planning.

LIFELONG ENJOYMENT

Our positive league experience will lead to sport participation for life.

YOUTH SPORTS LEAGUE GENERAL INFORMATION All participants will receive an email from WAWM RCS with practice information the week before the start date.

All practice sessions will be led by RCS Staff but volunteer coaches are needed for each team to help facilitate practice drills and maintain a positive environment during games.

If you are interested in volunteer coaching, please indicate that during registration. All volunteer coaches are subject to a confidential background check.

The registration deadline is two weeks before the start date to provide adequate time for team formation and securing volunteer coaches for each team. Participants are still able to register after the deadline but will be charged an additional $10.

Participants sign up for leagues based on their grade in the 2021-2022 school year. There are no exceptions to this rule.

Players register as individuals and will be placed on teams. Every effort will be made to group players by school and players will be separated into teams by grade.

The WAWM RCS Department reserves the right to combine teams for the benefit of the program.

Due to changes and updates, field/facility locations are subject to change.

In case of inclement weather, please call 414-604-4900, Option 2.

2021-2022 WAWM Intermediate School Interscholastic Sports 6th-8th Grade Athletic opportunities are open to all 6th-8th grade school district residents including those students who attend a parochial school, private school, home school or public school outside the district that does not offer sports. Student-athletes will work on building their fundamentals, teamwork and leadership skills while representing their school against local schools based on the conference their sport competes in. All participants must register with their attendance area school. All student-athletes will need to fill out the required forms, which includes a physical on file before participating in either the first day of tryouts or the first practice. Any physical that is completed prior to April 1, 2020 will not be accepted. If the sport has tryouts, participation fees will be due after the teams are announced but are required before they can attend practice or games.

• For girls/boys basketball and girls volleyball ONLY, teams will compete in the Jr. Parkland Conference.

• For 6th grade girls basketball, 6th grade boys basketball and 6th grade girls volleyball, student-athletes are highly encouraged to participate in the WAWM RCS Department for those programs. For 6th grade track athletes, they will participate in two meets with 1-2 practices per week. This aligns with the conferences we participate in for these sports, which do not include 6th grade interscholastic athletics. This creates a more inclusive opportunity for all interested athletes during their intermediate transition year as there is not a tryout process.

• Practices take place at the school you are registered at and scheduled in season between the hours of 3-5pm.

• Bus transportation will be provided for athletes to all away competitions Sport Poms (Tryouts Required) Co-Ed Cross Country Girls Basketball (7th + 8th Grade Only) Boys Basketball (7th + 8th Grade Only) Wrestling Girls Volleyball (7th + 8th Grade Only) Co-Ed Track

Senior Morning Stretch

MEET LLOYD! After retiring from the Waukesha Fire Department in an effort to stay in shape, I started doing Zumba classes.

I enjoyed the classes so much I decided to become a Zumba instructor and now Zumba has turned into a passion of mine. While I have other interests such as windsurfing, water and snow skiing, and motorcycling, nothing is as much fun as instructing a Zumba class and watching the enjoyment and smiles of others while getting a great workout to Latin music.

Similar to “Comedysportz” and “Whose Line Is It Anyway?,” we’ll play games like “Mirror, Mirror,” “Dr. Know-It-All” and more. Improv has life-long benefits such as improving listening, concentration and self-confidence. Why let kids have all the fun? Try something new and let’s laugh together!
