Its only January, but already I have recieved a handful of emails from concerned parents wondering if they have missed the dates for soccer registration. They usually follow one of these formats:

“Hey, I was just wondering, have I missed soccer registration yet? ”

or

“Please don’t tell me I have missed soccer registration this year, I missed it last year and can’t stand to see that look of utter disappointment on my child’s face again.”

or

“DEAR GOD TELL ME I HAVEN’T MISSED SOCCER REGISTRATION YET! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET MY KIDS IN, I’LL DO ANYTHING! MONEY IS NO ISSUE! ”

Well, concerned parents need not worry, soccer registration has not happened just yet. But, due to the alarming amount of emails that I have recieved in the past few weeks I have decided to post the dates for registration well in advance. They will be as follows:

Location: (for ALL registration dates)

South Leisure Center 

170 Sunset Drive 

Dates and Times: 

Saturday, March 3 ,9-11 AM

Tuesday March 6 , 7-8 PM

Wednesday March 14, 7-8 PM

These same dates will also be seen:

• On the LCA sign two weeks before regisration
• In the newsletter that will be distributed to all schools in the area
• On the Soccer Page on this website
• On signs throughout the South End
• On our facebook page  (which you really should “like” if you haven’t already)

Hope to see you at one of the registration nights! If you have any additional questions or would like to volunteer please do not hesitate to email me

We are pleased to announce that yoga will be offered as an addition to our list of fine programs starting this January.  The programs will be as follows:

Multi-Level Yoga for Seniors

This class is for Seniors with varying Yoga experience and ability.  Poses will be taught with a number of variations and supports, enabling students with balance, joint and mobility challenges to take part at their own pace.  This is a gentle yoga class, focused on building strength, stability and joint integrity.

Multi-Level Yoga for Adults

This class is for Adults with varying Yoga experience and ability.  Poses will be taught with a number of variations, allowing students to work at their own level.  Each week the class focus will change, incorporating standing poses, forward bending, gentle twisting, and restorative postures.

In case you did not know, Yoga originated in India and is a “physical, mental and spiritual discipline” , meant for “the attainment of a state of perfect spiritual insight and tranquility.” Sounds intense. But, my 40-some year old mother does it, so how hard can it really be? Sign up and see for yourself.
