Applications must be completed and submitted prior to making full payment for the program. Once received, applica-tions are reviewed using the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Median Family Income Limits as a guideline for determining the amount of assistance awarded. A 20% payment is required at the time of registration for all registrants requesting assistance. Applications must be received 5 business days after original registration unless oth-erwise stated in the registration informa-tion. Once the application is received, applicants are contacted via email or phone. Payment plans are also avail-able and can be arranged at the time of registration.

Youth SoccerCoed Grades 1-8Girls Grades 1-8 The Brookline Youth Soccer leagues are designed as learning soccer game programs and are open to all children who live in Brookline or attend a Brookline public or private school. Children are assigned to play on one team throughout the fall season. Most teams are composed of children from the same neighborhood school. Players are given an official BY Soccer team shirt but must provide their own shin guards, athletic footwear, and soccer ball. Many teams make up a league and each Saturday your child’s team will play a different opponent team in that league. Every BY Soccer team will play a one hour game on Saturdays and also may have a weeknight one hour team practice, depending upon coach availability. Two parent volunteer coaches are needed for each team. Each player can expect equal playing time in every game. Participants in grades 1-2 need to provide their own #3 ball, in grades 3-6 a #4 ball, and in grades 7-8 a #5 ball.

Tae Kwon-Do Grades K-8 Tae Kwon-Do is far more than just kicking and punching. It is also a philosophy, a way of life, and a code of conduct which emphasizes self-control. As students learn the physical aspects of the martial art—coordination, strength, speed, flexibility and endurance—they also learn the five moral tenants of Tae Kwon-Do: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and indomi-table spirit. Classes are taught by Giorgio’s Tae Kwon-Do & Fitness Company which has been based in Sudbury for over 25 years. At the end of the 8 week session, every participant will have the opportunity to break boards and showcase what they learned to their parents. Tae Kwon-Do uniforms with belts are available to purchase separately for $25.

Brandon Fitts Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist, [email protected]

What is Recreation Therapy?Recreation Therapy is a form of therapy that uses leisure modalities and the things you like to do to increase functional independence, reduce barriers related to recreation, and improve the overall quality of life for individuals living with disabilities. “Recreation Therapy means, a treatment service designed to restore, remediate, and rehabilitate, a person’s level of functioning and independence in life activities, to promote health and wellness as well as reduce or eliminate the activity limitations and restrictions to participation in life situa-tions caused by an illness or disabling condition.” – American Therapeutic Recreation Association (ATRA).

Why is Recreation Therapy so Important? Research supports the concept that people with active, satisfy-ing lifestyles will be happier and healthier. Recreation Therapy provides services, and treatment which are based on the indi-viduals’ interests and lifestyle. This allows them to better en-gage in therapy and apply these functional improvements in all areas of their life. For individuals who have functional deficits and a need for therapy, Recreation Therapy services which inte-grate the client’s lifestyles and natural environments are often the most clinically appropriate manner to achieve meaningful outcomes. Recreation Therapy allows for better generalization to enhance individuals’ functional orientation to treatment. Put simply, Recreation Therapy works to improve individuals’ functioning and keep them as active, healthy and independent as possible in their chosen life pursuits.

Recreation Therapy in BrooklineThe Recreation Therapy Division provides a diverse range of programs for individuals living with and without disabilities in Brookline and its surrounding areas. Programs range from social based activities such as teen outings, specialty acitiv-ites, and sports programs to more Therapeutic-based groups such as Swim Classes, Social Activities, and Dinner Groups. Programs vary from Season to Season and the best way to stay informed on the latest Recreation Therapy Program offerings is to go to www.brooklinerec.com and search under “Rec Therapy”.

Mission: The mission of the Recreation Therapy Division of the Brookline Recreation Department is to provide effective, Therapeutic-based programs for youth through adult populations who have disabling conditions and/or illnesses in an effort to promote positive growth, development, and independence. This is ac-complished through the provision of recreation services in a safe, structured, and prosperous environment via the Brookline Recreation Department.

Green Dog Program www.brooklinema.gov/GreenDogThis program is an innovative approach to meeting our dogs’ and dog owners’ desire to have time off-leash, while sharing the spaces with other park users in our urban community. Brookline has 14 off-leash areas scattered across the Town, with specific off-leash hours established by the Park and Recreation Commission. Green Dog Program off-leash hours and parks can be found in the current Green Dog Brochure or by visiting www.brooklinema.gov/GreenDog The Green Dog Program is an optional recreation program and requires a fee to participate. All dogs must be wearing a cur-rent Green Dog tag to take advantage of off-leash privileges. Green Dog Program fees cover the calendar year. Green Dog tags will expire at the end of December each year and must be renewed for the following year.
