What if they like a sport that isn't typically offered in a program or at their school? Well at the Ultimate Sport Showcase all games are given a chance. When you sign up for the Showcase your child will be able to learn the fundamentals of and even play baseball, dodgeball, volleyball, basketball, kickball, and any other sport that they show an interest in.

Recreation Coordinator Chris Eastridge says that in the Showcase kids will play a variety of sports that are popular in gym class and various other games that are fun but not competitive.

"This will be a class with fun sports without the competitive aspects of team sports," says Eastridge, "Just an opportunity for kids to begin exercising and building new friendships."
