YMCA notes [July 25, 2009]  Chad Burnham Flag Football -- New, exciting additions to flag football. The YMCA now offers flag football to all boys and girls from age 4 to sixth grade. Participants in this program are taught the basic rules and strategies of football, while playing games and having lots of fun. Participants are divided into three leagues: from 4 years old to kindergarten, first to third grade, fourth to sixth grade. Teams practice once a week and have games on Saturday mornings. No games Labor Day weekend. (For more details, see previously posted article: Ready for some football? YMCA expanding flag football for youngsters)

Extended swim lessons -- By popular demand, the Y has decided to add a fourth summer swim session. Sessions A, B and C were such a success that we didn't always have classes available for everyone. If you missed swim lessons or just want more, here is your chance. Come to the Y office to sign up for this wonderful last-minute addition. Only evening classes will be available. Register ASAP at the Y office.

Before/After School Program -- Registration has started. Deadline is Aug. 6.
