SPRING 2021 MSCR Program Guide - Indoor Outdoor Online
Welcome

 WELCOME TO THE MSCR SPRING PROGRAM GUIDE!
 As the weather warms up, our teams have put together some wonderful outdoor pro-
 grams to keep you busy this spring, in addition to our indoor and virtual programs. Look
 for some of our long-standing favorites to resume, like soccer and softball leagues and
 pontoon boat rides, or try out a new art class or outdoor pursuit. No matter your age or
 interests, there is an option to keep you engaged, connected and having fun.

 Our team is excited to resume our elementary afterschool programs as MMSD students
 return to classrooms while continuing to provide childcare for Gr 3-5 students and virtual
 opportunities for our middle and high school participants. We look forward to the return
 of summer and a full slate of camp options. Full camp information will be available on
 March 15 with registration beginning on March 22.

 We look forward to seeing you in a program soon.

OUTDOOR SOCCER CLASSES
SOCCER SKILLS
The focus is on movement, fundamentals and building basic soccer skills. Each week builds on the basic skills learned in the previous week through
fun exercises, drills and games. Staff work with participants on individual skills and focus on essentials with each child. Social distancing policies and
procedures allow for individual instruction without the need to share equipment. Staff are dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming environment for all.
Pairs are introduced to a skill and work on it together with assistance and guidance from the staff. The 3-4 year old class is a child + adult class.
