Happy New Year from the Recreation Department!  We hope that everyone had wonderful holiday and are ready to kick of the New Year.  Thank you to everyone that attended our first Breakfast with Santa event.  Pictures are at the  Community Center if you haven’t picked them up already.  NVAA Basketball will start holding practices the week of January 9th.  Coaches should be contacting players over the next week with practice information.  We will be having a mandatory  coaches and parents meeting on January 5th at 6:30 pm at the Platteville Senior Center.  Here are a few more important items that will be changing in 2023 for the Recreation Department:

· Due to increases in league fees, uniform price increases, and increased equipment cost all sports registration fees will increase in 2023. To help offset these costs we have added an early registration discount.  Early Bird Registration will be the first 15 days of all registration windows.  Registering during this window will take $5 off of the cost of your registration.  We will also be implementing a $10 late fee for all registrations received after the regular registration window has closed.

· Moving forward we will be using the same shirts for all sports for one calendar year*. A $10 discount will be given to each participant if they choose to reuse their shirt from a previous 2023 season/sport (*This excludes Baseball and Fast Pitch Softball due to league uniform requirements)

· The Town has started a Recreation Committee and we are currently seeking residents to participate. This Committee will help facilitate recreation activities and events.  If interested please reach out to Jesse or Janet for more information. 

· Looking for more ways to help out our youth sports program-participate in our Adult Sports Program.  Proceeds from those leagues help cover the expenses of our youth programs.  We offer, Corn Hole, Horse Shoes, Coed Softball  and a variety of VB leagues.

· Registration information will be coming out soon for our Spring Viking Time Classes as well as for our Summer Middle School field trips.  New this year for our Middle School Field trips you will be able to set up a payment plan to help make those larger priced field trips more manageable.

· Due to the high amount of scholarship application we have received, starting in 2023  scholarships will only be given for 50% of the cost of the registration so that we have enough scholarship funds to cover all of the participants that need assistance.  Do you need the scholarship application for your child to participate in an upcoming sports season or activity?  Click here for the application.   Scholarship forms need to be turned in to Recreation/Senior Director, Janet Torres. Questions contact Janet at 720-815-8136.
