SPORTS & RECREATIONSpring Registration Night in Niverville

Spring is just around the corner, and with it comes all sorts of fun. Mark your calendars for Thursday, March 3. Spring Registration Night takes place from 7:00–9:00 p.m. at the south end of the Niverville Arena. Come on by and register for all your favourite activities.

Niverville has several wonderful children’s sports programs run exclusively by volunteers, including Youth Baseball, Youth Soccer, and Youth Rugby. And this year we have a new program, run by Old Drovers Run: Junior Golfing.

Niverville’s Youth Baseball team, the Wildcats, has a program for almost every age. Starting at age four, athletes learn the basic skills of throwing, catching, hitting, and running. By the time they reach Pee Wee at age 15, they’re highly involved in the game and travelling to other communities.

The Niverville Knights, the Youth Soccer club, starts at age five and runs to age eight with the mini soccer program. Athletes from nine to 17 can join the Eastman Youth Soccer League, which plays teams from the surrounding communities.

Junior Golfing will take place at the Old Drovers Run golf course. The Junior Future Link Program will be taught by award-winning golf instructors. More details are to come at Spring Registration Night.

Niverville Recreation also has some springtime fun lined up for spring break, including art camp, science camp, gardening camp, a babysitting course, and the Home Alone program. New this spring is a ten-week gymnastics program for ages four to seven.

Let’s not forget about the adults, though. The adult slo-pitch league is in its third year, and it’s strictly recreational. It started with eight teams in its first year, but this year that has risen to as many as 16. You can register as a team or individual player.
