Recreation Center Youth Programs

Family Fun Night!

The Mitchell Rec Center has established Fridays to be Family Fun Night.  Elementary age students (grades 1 - 5) will have exclusive use of the Roller-Skating Rink from 6 - 8pm, and the swimming pool will be open with a lifeguard on duty from 6-8pm.  If the skating and swimming are not your style, workout in our full fitness center or shoot baskets with your kids in the Randall Gym.

Roller-Skating

Friday Nights -- FAMILY NIGHT!!!      Saturday Nights -  MIDDLE SCHOOL NIGHT !!

The Rogers Gym is transformed into a roller skating rink on Friday and Saturday evenings from 6:00-8:00 from October through March.  Fee is $ 2.50 for members and $ 4.50 for non-members. Everyone must wear skates provided by the Center, which come in all sizes and colors!! The music is cool, the supervisors are fun-loving, and the atmosphere is relaxed -- a great time for all ages, with a particular appeal for those in 3rd through 7th grade.

  Athletic Performance Enhancement Program

The focus of this program is to teach young athletes sound training principles, increase athletic performance, decrease the potential for injury and develop healthy active behaviors that will last a lifetime. The A.P.E. program is available for male and female athletes ages 11-12, 13-14,and15 and up. Skills taught during this program include: strength training, agility, running mechanics, flexibility, balance, and cardio-vascular endurance. The skills learned in this program will be beneficial for a wide variety of sports. Athletes will be tested before and after the program to measure their improvements. The program will be fun, educational and challenging.  Athletes will meet 3 times a week and the program will be offered in two 5-week sessions.

The Recreation Center has two gyms with wood floors -- excellent facilities for basketball for all ages! The Center makes every effort to keep at least one gym open for our members and guests while programs may be scheduled in the other gym. "Open Gym" is available whenever the Center is open.

The ROGERS GYM is located in the northeast section of the Center, and is generally designated for usage by youth. The large viewing window located in the Rogers gym faces the Center Front Desk, so activity in the gym is monitored at all times.
