CURRENT PROGRAMS

JR. TEAM - The Youth Program is open to boys and girls, ages 8-14, from in and around the Waltham area. Practices and meets are held each Monday and Wednesday, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., from April through June and then continues through July with our Dare To Dream Travel Team, which is open to all members and focuses on Jr. Olympic competitions.. Practices and meets are conducted by age group and sex, (8-10),(11-12),(13-14). Age groups are determined by member's age as of December 31 of the current year. Each child chooses the event(s) and the competitions he/she wishes to participate in. Ribbons are awarded to everyone in all events. Performance charts are maintained and certificates are presented at the annual Award's Night based on the number of personal records achieved by each child. Emphasis is placed on "being the best that one can be" rather than on just "being the best". The main purpose of the youth program is to develop self-esteem. The youth program attracts more than 300 kids each year.
