Toddler Splash to be held once a month

After a successful “Toddler Splash” on February 6th, the Indoor Aquatic Center, located at 166 Cunningham Lane, has decided to host this popular event on the first Wednesday of every month. Kids, ages 1 to 5-years-old, can enjoy fun such as a water parade, penny hunt, water games, crafts and even a “fishing pond.”

The next event will take place March 6th, from 10:00am to noon. Cost to attend is $3.00 per person, including adults. A parent or adult guardian must accompany toddlers in the water.

New session of Olympic Style Archery to start at the Kleeman Center

A new session of Olympic Style Archery will begin March 19th at the Kleeman Community Center.

Pre-registration is underway online at recpro.cityofclarksville.com. The 8-week class will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:00pm to 5:00pm. Cost is $45.00 for the entire 8-week session.

This archery course teaches a strong foundation in the sport of archery to youth in grades 4-12. Skills to be learned are aiming, shooting techniques and balance. Class sizes are limited so sign up today!

Youth Recreation Leagues

Baseball, Blastball®, Softball and T-ball

You can register your child online at recpro.cityofclarksville.com, at any of our community centers or at the Main office now through March 22nd for our Youth Recreation Leagues. The baseball, softball, and t-ball league is open to youth ages 5 to 14. Your child’s birth certificate is required at registration.

Once again, Blastball® will be offered for the 3 and 4 year olds. This fun alternative to traditional t-ball uses a “honking” base to entertain younger players- adding excitement to the game. It concentrates on developing a child’s running, hitting, catching, fielding, and throwing skills.

The cost to play in any of the Youth Recreation Leagues is $40.00 per child and includes a team shirt, hat, and medal. Games will be played at the Heritage Park Complex located at 1241 Peachers Mill Road beginning June 3rd.

Each team will practice once a week until the season begins, at which time, teams will have one practice a week and one game a week. Games will be held at the Heritage Park Baseball fields.

These leagues rely on the generosity of the parents and volunteers to provide coaching support. There is no experience required. Please show your support by volunteering to coach. Please call 931.645.7476 to volunteer.

Whether you are planning parties, picnics, reunions, weddings or any other occasion, keep in mind a Parks and Recreation facility for your next event. The Indoor Aquatic Center is also available for private rentals Saturday and Sunday evenings from 6:00pm to 8:00pm, reserve it today!
