Game Design- software and final games are for PC only, but Mac users can play the games through the website.

FAQ’s:

Q: How do I sign my child up?

A: To find out if your child’s school has openings, or to get on the waiting list, contact the CARD office at 895-4711. Many schools have little or no waiting list. However, CARD recommends you put your child on the waiting list when they are 2 years old to help ensure you will have a spot when they enter school.

Q: Do I have to put my child on the waiting list each year?

A: No. Once you put your child on the waiting list, you stay on until you are offered a spot in the program. Please make sure to contact us to update your phone number and address if they change.

Q: Does my child have to attend every day?

A: No. The program is for your benefit, and you may use it as you feel necessary. The fee for the program is a flat rate fee. CARD does not prorate for days not attended.

Coach of the Quarter:For our Winter 2012-2013 youth basketball season, we have two coaches Coach of the Quarter. Both coaches have displayed endless amounts of “love of the game” and have been standouts in their interactions with players and staff.

Coach Jeff Zelenksi has been coaching with CARD for 5 seasons. Jeff grew up with a father who coached basketball, and had the opportunity to play through college. He relays his extensive basketball knowledge by connecting with each player on his team, regardless of their skill level, to encourage their basketball development. Regardless of this teams skill level, Jeff shows unfaltering sportsmanship on the sideline and has a positive finesse in dealing with different situations that arise. Coach Zelenski takes pride in his practice plans to make sure each of his players reaches their potential during the season…and of course, has mandatory high fives on his teams!

Coach Lynnette Ford has been coaching with CARD for 2 seasons. She gives a “love of the game” by getting all of her players excited about basketball. Lynnette has a special gift for making sure that all of her players know that they are different, special, and have a crucial part on the team and the court. Coach Lynnette works hard on making sure everyone knows that hard work, dedication and teamwork can enhance their feelings of success not only on the basketball court but in life. Lynnette also remembers that the ultimate goal of the season is to not win, but to help her players grow as individuals and understand what they can achieve as a team.

League MovementTeams may be subject to move from their league of choice at the discretion of the Recreation Supervisor if it is deemed for the benefit of the CARD softball program. Prior history and records will be considered when it comes to league placement. Spring or Summer league champions MAY be moved up to a higher league for the subsequent season if also deemed appropriate and teams who struggle in a given league may also be moved down. The goal here is to facilitate proper league placement over the course of time, while teams may not consider themselves a “B” or “C” level team, they may be one of the top teams playing on that evening and it may be necessary that they play in that league
