Repairing the roof at the Ackerman Sports and Fitness Complex is a top priority and we are planning to have that work completed by the end of the summer. Look for these other park improvements in 2012: • Upgrades to the bath house at Sunset Pool • A new playground for Glen Ellyn Manor Park • Athletic field improvements Ackerman, Village Green and Newton parks • Converting the baseball fields at Newton park to all-purpose playing fields • Maryknoll pond and oak savannah restorations • Dog park fence and card swipe system at Spring Avenue Park • Boardwalk at Churchill Park • Ackerman Woods cleanup and path The park district will conduct a community-wide interest and attitude survey this summer to learn more about the recreation needs of our residents. We will also begin a master plan for Lake Ellyn Park. Watch for more information about community meetings and public input on this plan later this spring! Board Meetings Broadcast Live on Website The Board took an important step towards increasing transparency by starting video broadcasting for all Board meetings. Live video of the meetings is available on the park district website at www.gepark.org. The Board usually meets on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 7:00 p.m. In addition to being shown live, the meetings will be archived and posted on the park district Website for on-demand viewing later. The archived meeting videos have bookmarks for each agenda items so users can view just the parts of the meeting they have an interest in. In addition to broadcasting our meeting, the Board has all meeting information and agendas online prior to the meeting and highlights of the meeting are available soon after. All of this information is available in one place at the new board blog at geparkboard.blogspot.com. With all of our meeting documents and video archived online we hope that it will be easy for people to know what is going on with the park district board.

All instructors will be trained and certified by Jeff Ellis and Associates, International Aquatics Corporation. This program is objective driven, rather than progressive. Each day there is an objective to meet, using the strengths of the child to do so. Register for as many classes or sessions as you wish. Please see registration instructions in the back of the brochure. Swimming lessons are not made up, nor are refunds provided due to missed student lessons for inclement weather or absence. There are no class cancellations. There are three levels in Journey I Beginner. All children will be tested and grouped with others of comparable skills. This class is equivalent to Red Cross Levels I and II. Children must have completed Journey I or its equivalent. There are several adventures in this Journey designed to teach swimmers the front crawl and backstroke. Swimmers will also be introduced to the breast stroke. Proper breathing will be emphasized. Students will progress at their own speed in this Journey. Successful completion will allow for advancement to Journey III. Journey I: Pre-Beginner • Age: 3-5 This will be your child’s first swim lesson experience. Emphasis will be on group games to acclimate preschoolers to water thus reducing their fears. Children are grouped by ability and work on a variety of skills. This class follows the same lesson plans as the Beginner class, but for younger children. In Level A of this Journey, children learn to hold their breath, open their eyes underwater, breathe out of their mouth and nose, and learn water safety. It is not uncommon for a child to spend more than one term in this level. In Level B of this Journey, children will be introduced to the jelly float, stomach float, back float and back glide. In Level C of this Journey, children will learn to combine movement with the glide strokes as well as changing direction. Many children will need to repeat this Journey to get through all the skill levels. This should be expected, and needs to be considered by those registering for multiple sessions. Journey III • Age: 6 & Up Children must have completed Journey II or its equivalent. Journey III will utilize adventures designed to introduce swimmers to the elementary backstroke, butterfly and sidestroke. Emphasis will be on the coordination of kicking and pulling movements associated with each stroke. Private Swim Lessons Enjoy individualized swim lessons designed to develop confidence, improve stroke mechanics and safety. Half-hour lessons are available during open swim. If you are not a pass holder, you must pay the daily fee upon entering the pool for lessons. The instructor will be chosen depending on needs. To set up your private lesson, you must talk to the pool manager.

This program is lotteried due to its popularity and limited space capacity. Returning Gators will have first priority in the lottery, however no spots are guaranteed. The Gators compete at both “A” (more competitive) and “B” (less experienced) meets. Some swimmers may not be able to compete at every meet due to very large numbers in some age groups and levels. Meets are held both at home and away on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and two or three Saturday mornings. Swim Team is not a lesson program. Participants learn the techniques and discipline of competitive swimming while learning the value of sportsmanship and team spirit. Participants 7 and 8 years old must be able to comfortably swim one pool length of freestyle and one pool length of backstroke. Participants over 9 years old must be able to swim two lengths of the pool freestyle and backstroke. Swimmers are expected to attend practices on a daily basis. A Swim Team Parent Manual, which further details the program, is available at the Main Street Recreation Center and Spring Avenue Recreation Center offices after May 1st. The swim team fee includes paid coaches, team apparel and league fees. A team suit will need to be purchased through our local supplier. Every swim meet requires a great number of volunteers.

Coaches Meeting Tuesday, August 14, 6:30pm-8:30pm Location: Hadley School Travel Soccer 2012-2013 Season Tryouts Youth Travel Soccer is a Glen Ellyn Park District program run with the assistance of Glen Ellyn Lakers Futbol Club. Teams are organized through the NISL and IWSL and range from U8U18. New volunteers are always welcome. Lakers meetings are held on the second Monday of each month at Spring Avenue Recreation Center at 7pm. Anyone wishing to play on a Lakers Travel team must try out. This includes any player currently on an existing Travel team. Tryouts enable players to be organized into teams by age and similar skill level. This allows training and competition to occur on an equal basis which creates an environment where players can be challenged and learn more effectively. Who should play travel team soccer? Travel team soccer is for players who enjoy playing soccer and have the desire and dedication to play at a more competitive level. Players receive extensive training twice a week in the evening with professional trainers and coaches certified by the Illinois Youth Soccer Association (IYSA) who are committed to developing skilled players. Time Commitments and Expectations Travel soccer demands a fairly large time commitment since our soccer year extends from August to June. The year program begins in August with a one-week training camp for all teams. Then each week during the fall and spring league season, the teams train twice a week for 90 minutes each time. During the winter season, the teams have training sessions once a week for a ten-week period and may also participate in indoor soccer leagues in preparation for the spring season. Fall and spring games are usually scheduled on Sundays. Teams play a ten-game schedule each fall and 8 games each spring with half on the home fields and the remainder away. We expect players to have fun. We expect players to be at all training sessions and games. We expect them to respect coaches, trainers, fellow team players, parents, equipment, facilities, game officials, and game opponents at all times. We expect the players to come to all events with the necessary equipment, their team commitment, and ready to play. For more information about the club, visit www.gelakers.com or call Brenden Berry at 630-858-2462 x148. Soccer Travel Soccer Tryouts are a two-day process. All players must attend both days of tryouts to be eligible to make a team. All tryouts will be held at Ackerman Park and conducted by Future Pros trainers. All players must register for tryouts on the Lakers Website (www.gelakers.com). Please click on the “Tryouts” tab for more information. Please contact a member of the Lakers committee if there is a conflict. Tryout Dates U8-U14 Co-Rec: May 14, 17, 18 and 19 U8-U14 Girls: May 30 and 31; June 1 and 2 Glen Ellyn Lakers Academy Created for boys and girls who love soccer but are not sure about the commitment of travel soccer, players are coached by the same professionals who coach Lakers travel players, and train in the same manner as Lakers players. Instead of playing games in a travel league however, children play internal games and scrimmages in a “micro-league” format. This is a great way to get a taste for travel soccer without the year-long commitment. Concurrent participation in both the Glen Ellyn House League and Lakers Academy is encouraged.

If you are not completely satisfied, tell us and we will either: 1. Invite you to repeat the class at no charge; 2. Allow you a credit that can be applied to another program; 3. Issue you a full refund. Our guarantee is based on fulfilling our promise to deliver the published expectations describing the particular service you have used. A refund will be granted if you were dissatisfied with the experience due to circumstances under the Park District’s control. If you are not satisfied, we kindly ask you to give us your input or suggestions for improvement. Requests for the above mentioned options must be made before the midpoint of the program or within two weeks of a single meeting activity. All refund requests must be submitted on our form and returned to the Spring Avenue Recreation Center or the Main Street Recreation Center.
