9Health Fair is coming!!!
Wellington Recreation is proud to announce that we will be hosting a 9Health Fair on April 18, 2009!! We are currently in need of many volunteers to run this event. If you or someone you know is interested in helping out please contact us (click here to email us). Click here to download a volunteer form. The 9Health Fair offers many free or low cost medical screenings which require many volunteers to run. Click here to view a brochure detailing screenings available.
The Four Star Band
The Four Star Band plays every Wednesday from 10 to 11:30am at 3800 Wilson Ave (West entrance). Come join the fun. Bring the young 'uns to dance, or just sit and listen. This is a free event, but feel free to bring a donation for the Larimer County food bank. We hope to see you there! This is an event for both parents and kids, so parents please plan on attending with the young 'uns.
NEW!! Yoga..................
Wellington Recreation is now offering Yoga classes. Beginning Yoga is a four week class designed to introduce participants to yoga techniques and practices. Beginning Yoga classes are sixty minutes long. Our Hatha/Vinyasa class is a six week class that meets for 90 minutes per session. The six week class will delve a little deeper into poses and breathing techniques. Mat rental is available for $1 per session. Drop ins are welcome in the six week classes at $10 per session (check only). Both yoga classes are open to ages sixteen and up. Click here to register.

Snowing outside, kids sick, worked all day and don't feel like dealing with another person, NO PROBLEM, just log on and register at home when it is convenient for you. So you want to pay with cash or a check, no problem. Just drop by the Recreation Office (Suite A in the Leeper Center) and we will be happy to process your registration.

Wellington Recreation’s youth sports are powered by volunteers. We are always looking for dedicated individuals to help out. If you or someone you know would like to work with the youth programs please contact Jake ( volunteer@townofwellington.com) for more information. Wellington Recreation is proud to be affiliated with the National Alliance of Youth Sports to provide training for our volunteer coaches.
Wellington Recreation also offers the National Alliance of Youth Sports Start Smart programs. Start Smart is a program designed to teach young children the basic motor skills necessary to play organized sports while they work one-on-one and spend quality time with their parents. Start Smart sessions are held once a week for six weeks with the exercises becoming increasingly more difficult as the class progresses. Registration can be done online ( click here to register) or at the Recreation Office (Suite A in the Leeper Center). Registration periods end at midnight for online customers and 6:00PM for walk in customers. Jerseys purchased online are to be picked up at the Recreation Office (receipt required). Jerseys may be returned if they are clean and have not been washed. Refunds of registration fees will not be given after the first scheduled game.
A couple notes on rosters. Studies show that kids would rather play and lose than sit on the bench and win. With this in mind, Wellington Recreation strives to keep rosters small so kids will have more opportunity to play. Rosters are built using data collected using skill drills performed on Roster Assignment Days. Everyone who registers will be placed on a team, player evaluations are intended to help preserve parity and ensure a competitive league with no one dominant team. With this in mind parents are encouraged to make every effort to ensure that all registrants participate in Roster Assignment Days.
Registration opens at 12:30PM and closes at 6:00PM on dates listed.
Online registration generally opens two days early and lasts two days later.
