                            Streetsboro Youth Sports Philosophy & Mission
 The sports mission of the Streetsboro Parks & Recreation Department is to offer participants the opportunity to play in
 youth sports programs and provide a positive athletic experience by fulfilling needs for physical activity, social interaction,
 fun, and skill development. We are dedicated to the Player Rating System and making teams as BALANCED as possible.
 Our youth sports teams are formed using a random draft process based on age, grade and experience. A child moving up
 must have played at least one year in the league they wish to move up from. It never hurts to ask ... special requests,
 including roster placement and level advancement, will be taken into consideration, but are not guaranteed, since this
 would take away from the purpose of the drafting system. Thanks for your support.

                                         Parent Volunteer Coaches Needed!
Streetsboro Parks & Recreation has multiple volunteer opportunities for community members. We are always in search
of volunteer coaches, referees, and scorekeepers for youth sports. Volunteers assist us in providing a safe, healthy and
positive environment for our youth sports and enrichment programs. We provide all of our volunteers with proper training,
such as the NAYS Volunteer Coach and Officials Training Membership Programs. Opportunities are available for parents,
students and community members throughout the year. Make a positive impact in the community, contact us today!

Walking Club
Experts have said that walking could be the best exercise for seniors; it’s an effective way to
reduce the risk for chronic conditions and improve your overall health. Some of the benefits of
walking for seniors include:
•    Improves heart health. For seniors, walking offers numerous heart health benefits. Getting
     your heart rate up daily leads to a reduction in the risk for high blood pressure and high
     cholesterol, and even coronary heart disease.
•    Lowers blood sugar. After eating, taking a 15-minute walk has been shown to reduce the
     after-eating spike in blood sugar some seniors can experience.
•    Reduces pain. Studies have shown that walking helps reduce some pain due to chronic
     conditions like arthritis.
•    Promotes social engagement. Walking offers an easy way for seniors to meet up with others, whether you join a walking group with friends or
     simply engage with neighbors while out on your daily walk. You can meet new people and enjoy your environment each day.
•    Boosts mental health. A daily walk can help you feel more positive about life. The endorphins released during physical activity create a sense of
     well-being, reduce anxiety and boost your mood. American Senior Communities (August 2, 2016). Why Walking Benefits Seniors. Exercise &

THANK YOU!
Streetsboro Senior Center would like to thank all of our sponsors and volunteers. Your continued help and support keep the
Senior Center thriving. Without your efforts we wouldn’t be able to offer nearly half of the services we provide. We
appreciate all you do for us! Thank you.
