Dear Rye Brook Resident: As the new school year is upon us, a new recreation season is as well. I hope this booklet finds you well and that your summer has recharged your recreation batteries. I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to experience recreation’s wide ranging activities for all ages. Popular recreation programs include floor hockey, teen center, ice skating, bowling, men’s basketball and many other rec-reational activities to fit into your fall schedule. Rye Brook Recreation is offering an art program for 3 and 4 year olds and also a golf instruction program, which are all new to our fall programming. Coming in December is a Holiday Tree Lighting event to commence the holiday season. Halloween in the Park in scheduled for Saturday, October 17th and 18th begin-ning at 6:00pm at Rye Hills Park. Parking for the event will be at Crawford Park. There will be a haunted trail set up within the Park. Participants will go through the trail and the 1st 100 children will receive goodie bags after the trail. Come join us for what we expect to be a can’t miss attraction. There will be a nominal fee charged this year of $2 per person. In memory of Paula Bertolacci, the fifth annual “Paula’s Pals” Coat Drive will take place from September 23rd to December 13th to collect clean reusable coats for the needy. These coats will be distributed to the Carver Center and Holy Rosary Church where they will be provided to our local needy neighbors. Paula’s goal before passing in January, three years ago, was to donate 150 coats to the needy. We hope to meet this goal again this year. Collection boxes will be located at the Rye Brook Recreation Department, Anthony J. Posillipo Center, Port Chester Middle School, Park Avenue School and also at Corpus Christi Church. The basketball courts at Pine Ridge Park will be repaved during the month of September and be ready for use by October. Online registration will begin on Monday, September 8th at 9:30pm.

RYE BROOK PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT CODE OF CONDUCT The Rye Brook Recreation Department (“Department”) wishes to create rules of

conduct that coaches, parents/guardians of youth participants and all spectators shall observe so as

to allow our children to mature physically, emotionally and socially and create a positive experi-

ence for our children while participating in the Rye Brook Recreation sports programs.

A coach/parent/guardian of a player participating in a Department program shall at

all times act in the best interests of the children and it is understood that the best interests of the

child translates into the best interests of the game and the best interests of the Department. The

coach/parent/guardian needs to help players learn and work to improve skills and to ensure that the

player’s athletic experience is one of learning, fun and enjoyment. The job of coaching and the

job’s success does not depend upon winning.

A coach/parent/guardian should always exhibit patience with players, umpires and

other parents and coaches. Players should never be pushed beyond limits with regards to practice or

in game participation. A coach/parent/guardian should understand that children have many daily

pressures and youth sports should not be one of those pressures.

The Department recognizes the crucial role that the coach/parent/guardian plays in

molding the athletic experience of the child. Accordingly, the coach/parent/guardian should always

be demonstrating good sportsmanship and setting the example for all parents and all players by al-

lowing the children to be the center of attention during games and practices.

These principles serve as the overriding guideline coaches/parents/guardians partici-

pating or otherwise involved in a Department program shall observe and abide by within the fol-

lowing rules of conduct.

7

To the extent that adherence is not inconsistent with adherence of other rules and regu-lations governing Rye Brook Recreation Department sanctioned activities, A Coach/Assistant Coach/Parent/ Guardian, whether or not assisting the Coach, Shall at all times:

1. Maintain a positive, helpful and supportive attitude towards the players on his/her team and under his/her supervision as well as maintain a helpful and supportive at-titude towards the players/coaches/parents/guardian on the opposing team.

2. Exercise his/her authority or influence to peacefully control the behavior of specta-tors.

Examples include: Asking spectators politely to control inappropriate or profane language whether directed towards

the field of play or other spectators. Attempting to eliminate or limit a spectator from interfering with the progress of the game or

practice or the job of the coach or assistant coach Never expressly questioning or substituting one’s own judgment for that of the umpire/referee.

3. Exhibit gracious acceptance of defeat or victory. Examples include:

Making sure each child on the team lines up, shake-hands with and thanks the opposing team. Shaking hands and thanking the opposing coach/parent/guardian. Thanking the referee/umpire. Maintaining a positive demeanor with the children regardless of the outcome.

4. Accept and adhere to all Department rules and policies related to participation of adults and children.

5. Play players in accordance with equal participation rules established by the Depart-ment and follow the letter, as well as the spirit, of those rules.

16. Demonstrate support and respect for all players, coaches & officials at every game, practice or other sports event. Examples include, but are not limited to: - Never yelling at, reprimanding, berating or otherwise humiliating a player or official,

whether in view of others or privately for a mental/ physical mistake or error committed dur-ing a game or practice.

- Encouraging a child in a discreet manner to pay attention to the coach and/or game or pro-viding positive feedback to a child designed to help that child learn and improve.

Yoga (pm session) Vinyasa Open emphasizes the foundations in your clas-sic yoga postures and teaches the principles of each pose so practitioners can apply them in more advanced pos-tures. Vinyasa Open is appropriate for intermediate and beginners who are familiar with the basic postures taught in the Vinyasa Flow style. The emphasis is on the connection of breath and movement. In order to build a yoga practice that includes advanced yoga postures, the principles of each type of pose in a yoga sequence must be understood and a strong foundation must be set. This not only prevents injury but will create easefulness in even the most complex postures when one is ready for them. In Vinyasa Open modifications are offered, as well as deeper versions of the postures. Each practitioner can work at their own level. Vinyasa Open sequences will build strength and flexibility, while increasing concen-tration and balance.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

ST. PETER’S SOUP KITCHEN

For the first time, we are going to be volunteering by cooking 2 Meals for those that patron the St. Peter’s Soup Kitchen. We will be choosing a Sunday in De-cember and a Sunday in February. If you are interested in “giving back” and helping neighbors in need, please see Liz or Angie to sign up. It is our hope that we can pair up with some local children to work together on this heartwarming endeavor. More information to follow.

THANKSGIVING FOOD DRIVE

We will be collecting non perishable items in order to make Thanksgiving Food Baskets for local neighbors in need. Some suggested items are: canned vegetables, cranberry sauce, jars of gravy and applesauce, instant mashed potatoes and stuffing, boxes of corn or blue-berry muffins, Jello, cake mixes, pasta or rice. We also need FROZEN TURKEYS or HAMS (call the center and we can pick it up from you) and Large Aluminum Turkey Pans Or, don’t have time to shop, feel free to make a “small” monetary donation if you prefer – we need $$ for Turkeys! All items must be dropped off no later than Monday, November 24th
