The St. Charles Parish Department of Parks and Recreation is excited to announce its partnership with SuperTots New Orleans to bring football and volleyball programming for children ages 2-4.5
“Our team is committed to providing quality programming for all ages, and we are excited to announce the expansion of our youth programming through our partnership with SuperTots,” Director Duane Foret said. “This initiative will be a springboard for our young athletes and will help to instill active lifestyles and shape our children into well-rounded individuals.”
Registration for the fall slate of activities will begin Saturday, July 15, at register.skyhawks.com/scpparksandrec, and costs $124 per participant per session.
“In our first two years, we've experienced swift growth in the New Orleans area, with both coaches and kids journeying from St. Charles Parish for our programs,” Caroline Barry, Co-Owner of Skyhawks & SuperTots New Orleans said. “Recognizing the tremendous potential and demand, we knew this was a region we wanted to extend our reach to. We're thrilled to now bring our SuperTots programs to the children of St. Charles Parish. The community's warm reception and the excellent facilities have been truly inspiring. We look forward to fostering growth, development, and a love for sports in the local youth."
