Youth Swimming Winter/Spring Youth Swim Lessons (GHS Pool) Please see below for individual level descriptions Parent/Child Swim (30 min) For parent and child, 6 months to 3 yrs. The purpose of this class is to familiarize families with the pool and to begin the process of assimilating your child for swim lessons. This class is not designed to teach children to survive in the water on their own. The major focus of this class will be to have fun with your child while learning some of the basics such as proper holds. Instruction will be geared to the parent. A clean swim diaper is required under a snug fitting bathing suit for children who are not potty trained. Lessons Information: Children need to follow simple commands from their instructor. Trust is important and crucial for positive progress. Parents are welcome to watch from the bleachers. Our classes are organized initially by age (for first time preschoolers) with a ratio of 1:4, instructor to student. For children 6 and up, the instructor to student ratio will depend on the skill group your child is working on. We follow USWIM progressions Level 2 and 3. See below for skills and for more detail parents can view all the levels on YouTube. Level 2: Safety Fundamentals is divided into six skills:

Level 3: Stroke Development is divided into six skills:

Skill 1 is Breath Control

Skill 1 is Streamlined Kick (with face in)

Skill 2 is Streamlined (front) Float

Skill 2 is Beginner Freestyle

Skill 3 is Back Float

Skill 3 is Pat the Dog

Skill 4 is Dog Paddling (face down)

Skill 4 is Freestyle Breathing

Skill 5 is Back Kicking with arms at sides

Skill 5 is Backstroke

Skill 6 is Safety Awareness and combines all skills in the shallow end and progresses to the deep end of the pool

Skill 6 is Freestyle

Level 4: In the USWIM curriculum we use for our lesson there is not a level but we will provide instruction for swimmers who are above Level 3. Swimmers will be introduced and taught: Beginning Breaststroke, Butterfly, Treading Water, Surface Dives, Standing Front Dive & Flip Turns. After this level swimmers will be encouraged to join Seacoast Swim Club. Swimmers with hair that is 3 inches or longer must wear bathing caps. Available from lifeguards ($5). Goggles are required in all learn to swim programs. For children as young as 3 learning to wear goggles is as much a part of the lesson as getting in the water. They should be comfortable and fit properly. Parents, swimmers and spectators are required to remove shoes before entering the pool area. Saturday Mornings (8 classes each session) Session 1: January 7 - March 11 (No lessons February 18 & 25, make-up date March 18) Session 2: March 25 - May 20 (No lessons April 15) Morning Youth Swim Lessons Parent/Child: 9:00–9:30 am Min/Max: 4/12 Preschool Classes (ages 3-5): 9:40–10:10 am OR 11:00–11:30 am Min/Max: 8/16 Levels 2 - 4 (ages 6* and up): 10:20–10:50 am OR 11:40–12:10 pm Min/Max: 8/16 *Must be age 6 by January 5 for Session I and 6 by March 23rd for Session 2.

Youth Sports High School*/Middle School Ultimate Frisbee Spring 2017 High School Team Coach: Kevin Massey High School Ultimate is growing rapidly in America! Today, more than 4 million people play the sport of Ultimate. This sport encourages fitness, sportsmanship, competitiveness, and having fun! Here at Greely, the high school Ultimate program has grown considerably over the past few years. All Cumberland and North Yarmouth High School resident students are eligible to participate in the Ultimate program. The students that participate in the program will learn proper throwing and catching mechanics, offense and defense strategies, rules of the game and a strong sense of sportsmanship. Greely Ultimate is an affiliated member of the Maine Ultimate High School League. We offer both a boys team (A and B team) along with a girls team. The program starts in late March and runs to the end of May. Practices are held on Monday and Friday, 4:00–6:00 pm at the Commons. League games are held every Wednesday starting at 3:30 along with a few Sunday afternoon games. Game locations: Cumberland Fairgrounds and Wainwright Athletic Complex in South Portland Tournaments: During April and May we also participate in a number of high quality, competitive tournaments around the State of Maine Fee: $135 Per Participant, Includes uniform *High School Team is not affiliated with the Town of Cumberland however we will still be collecting registrations for the program.

Middle School Team Coaches: Gregg Novick & Maureen Lucey The Middle School Program is one of the largest in the state and still growing with nearly 60 participants last year!!! The middle school team is for boys AND girls in grades 5-8 (i.e. co-ed). With the growing popularity of this activity we will now be utilizing Twin brook Recreation Area (Tuttle Rd. side) for our league games each week. This program is designed to introduce players to the sport of Ultimate as well as improve disc skills and teach the kids to work together as a group. Sportsmanship is paramount in Ultimate as there are no referees. Rather, the kids make their own calls and rely on the “Spirit of the Game” to guide their actions on the field. The Greely Middle School Ultimate League (GMSUL) - similar concept to Little League in baseball, will be set up by splitting ALL players into 4 evenly skilled “teams”. In addition to GMSUL games, the team will scrimmage against other local towns each week, rotating participants based upon numbers. GMSUL games will be played on Mondays and Wednesdays at Twin Brook. Scrimmages/games against local schools will be played on Friday nights (i.e. Friday Night Lights!!!). In addition, we will participate in 3-4 one day weekend tournaments including the Greely Invitation and the 2017 Maine Middle School Ultimate State Championships. In addition to the regular league, we will be organizing a “Travel Team” which will be playing concurrently with their regular season. More info to come. Fee: $80 Per Participant, Includes Uniform and a disk for each player Registration closes Thursday, April 6th.
