Salisbury Parks and Recreation applied for the GoGirlGo!
grant sponsored by the Women’s Sports Foundation in early May 2008.
In mid September, the department was notified that they have been
awarded a grant worth $2,750 to facilitate a program called Girls
in Action
during summer 2009.
The
Girls in Action program, geared toward young girls ages 8-13,
will take place at the Salisbury Civic Center, twice a week for
eight weeks beginning in early June 2009 and concluding in
mid-August 2009. The program offered at no cost, will meet from 9:00
a.m. – 1:00 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays and will
follow the GoGirlGo! curriculum, while also participating in
sport activities, learning about teamwork and developing their own
individuality. There will also be guest speakers and field trips
pertaining to the curriculum. The program will be coordinated by
6-10 coaches and administrators and community volunteers. Sport
activities to be included in the program are tennis, racquetball,
weight training, swimming, dance and yoga, basketball, martial arts
and softball!
More information pertaining to program specifics will be posted
spring 2009!
