Snellville Fall Youth Soccer Registration Winding Down – Coaches Still Desperately Needed
The Snellville Parks and Recreation department is winding down registration for its fall youth soccer season for ages 4-18. Late registration began on July 20 and registrations are being accepted on a space-available basis at this time. Children must turn 4 before August 1, 2009 to be eligible to play this fall or next spring. A birth certificate is required for all new players.
Coaches are needed to continue accepting fall registrations for the Under 6, Under 8, and Under 10 age groups. Unfortunately, if enough coaches do not volunteer to coach, children will not be able to play. “We never want to tell a child they can’t play because we don’t have enough coaches,” states Cyndee Bonacci, Snellville Parks and Recreation Director. “We rely on these volunteers in the community to make our program successful.” Certification courses and training opportunities are offered for all volunteer coaches. A background check is required for volunteer consideration. For further information, please contact Robert Smith at 770-985-3535 or rsmith@snellville.org. Visit www.snellville.org for more details.

Swim portion of Triathlon
The Peachtree Corners Swim & Racquet Club Kids’ Triathlon takes place August 15th, 2009 at 8am. The Bicycle Wheel (celebrating it’s 5th aniversary) has been involved with the PCS&R Triathlon since its inception and is looking forward to another great event this year. They will have their tent set up to air up tires and perform minor adjustments before the start.
This is an entry-level triathlon for kids ages 7-15. Participants can enter as individuals or as a team of 2 or 3 children.
DISTANCE: Children ages 7-10 will swim 100 yards (4 laps), bike 3 miles (2 neighborhood loops) and run 0.75 miles.
Children ages 11-15 will swim 200 yards (8 laps), bike 6 miles (4 neighborhood loops) and run 1.5 miles.
COURSE: The race begins at the PCS&R pool. The transition area will be in the club’s parking lot. The bike course is a 1.5 mile loop on Jones Bridge Circle and Fitzpatrick Way. The run course goes along Jones Bridge Circle into the Simpsonwood Conference Center. This is an out and back course.
VOLUNTEERS: The directors will need lots of volunteers to put on a fun and safe race! All kids who race need at least one parent to volunteer with the race. We encourage teenagers to volunteer as a great way to earn community service hours. Please contact one of the race directors to find out more details – hope to see you there!
