The Henderson-Vance Recreation & Parks Department announces several upcoming events, including:
Elite Skills & Drills: Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there are so many restrictions placed on youth athletics. Our number one priority is the safety of our citizens. While we don’t recommend partaking in group competition, we also understand the importance that staying physically active has on your overall health.
Because of this, Henderson-Vance Recreation and Parks will be working with coaches to put together skills and drills videos that your child can use to help develop their skills right at home. We will post links to our videos regularly on the Henderson-Vance Athletics page starting Friday, July 24, 2020.
For more information, please contact Darius Pitt at (252) 438-3408 (dpitt@ci.henderson.nc.us).
