RECREATION - WINTER

WINTER SKILLS CLINIC Session Two: PreK - 2nd Grade

Information and details on the WINTER CLINICS & CAMPS PAGE.

INAUGURAL WINTER LEAGUE


The Tonka United Recreation program moves indoors for our inaugural Winter League. Rec Winter League provides players the opportunity to develop life skills and physical skills in a less competitive atmosphere. The focus is on fun, participation, inclusion, and building community. Leagues are formed based on grade in school and gender. The winter playing season runs for 5 weeks in January and February 2024.

Kindergarten - 2nd Grade


The Practice-Play structure is to allow teams and coaches to address the needs of their team and immediately apply them within the team’s game. Each team will arrive at their game field and use the first 15 minutes to run through activities with their team.


After 15 minutes of "practice," the "play" begins with a game, and coaches will continue to facilitate a positive learning environment within the game setting.

 

Volunteer parent coaches will be provided several activities curated by our technical staff, weekly tips and tricks for managing a group of players, and coaching support.

Team Formation

During the registration process, you may designate one friend with whom your child would like to play. During team formation, we will honor only one mutual friend request. This means that the friend must request your child as well in order for that request to be honored. For example, Sarah requests to be placed on a team with Anne, and Anne requests to be placed on a team with Sarah.


Beyond the friend request, we will also try to place players on a team with at least some players from their school or neighborhood. However, registration numbers and the number of players from each school dictate final team formation.


Please note that late registrations, or players invited from the waitlist, are NOT guaranteed mutual friend, team coach, or team requests.
