FUTSAL: *PLAYERS MUST HAVE SHIN GUARDS, ATHLETIC CLOTHING, AND APPROPRIATE FOOTWEAR TO PARTICIPATE IN EACH PRACTICE.* Futsal is an indoor soccer inspired game. The game play is very similar to soccer. I am new to this sport, but eager to introduce this to the SCS kids. We will offer this program in the SCS gym after vacation. The program will be right after school with Grades 1-3 on Mondays. Grades 4-6 on Thursdays. Program will end at 3:45 each day. (registration on back)

1st – 3rd Grade. Players will be met at SCS at 2:35 and walked to Quimby field by volunteer chaperones. Practice ends at 3:45. This four-week program will focus on skill development, field positioning, and the rules of soccer.

Track and Field: 3rd – 6th Grade. This program will focus on events at the Granite State Track & Field meets (formerly Hershey). We will work on track events from 50-meter dash to 1600-meter run, softball throw, and long jump. We will invite participants to compete in the Granite State regional meet on June 15, with a chance to move on to the state meet on June 28. Students in this program are encouraged, but not required, to participate in the regional meet. This program will be a fun opportunity for kids to train for, and participate in, a track meet.
Softball –We are excited to bring this offering to the sandwich community. This program is for girls in grades 2-6. Parent volunteers will help make this program a success, so please come ready to play. This will likely be a non-league activity, with no games against other communities, but a lot of great skill building drills for hitting, fielding, running, and throwing.
Tennis: All Grades: I will be leading an abbreviated two-week tennis program in the Spring designed to introduce the sport to beginners, and to provide helpful instruction for players already familiar with the sport. Sandwich recreation runs a tennis program throughout July, and any SCS students are welcome to participate in both the Spring and Summer program.
T-Ball: First Grade, Kindergarten, and children who will be five (5) years old before January 1, 2020. T-ball is a precursor to baseball. This program will introduce kids to the game and help them learn the fundamentals of the sport of baseball. This fun and safe program will rely on parent volunteers. This program will be on Saturday mornings on Quimby Field. More info Here: T-Ball
