Get set for the launch of a whole host of spring programs with Worcester County Recreation & Parks (WCRP). Registration opened February 12, and there are two ways to register. Sign up online at worcesterrecandparks.org or in-person at the Worcester County Recreation Center located at 6030 Public Landing Road in Snow Hill.

“The spring lineup includes a wide variety of longstanding favorites and new features, hosted by our outstanding program manager team,” Special Events and Marketing Manager Ryan Nellans said. “They aren’t just ‘one of the coach guys.’ They are personable, recognizable specialists who bring their A games to all of our programs.”

The WCRP spring lineup of program managers includes Kelly Buchanan, who will head up Active Start Pickleball at Showell Park.

“It’s easy to learn and fun to play!” Buchanan said. “So, come on out.”

Other youth programs include Active Start Field Hockey, Sand Volleyball and Track, as well as Toddler and Home School Gym programs, Little All Stars, and Paddle the Pocomoke.

Kyle Jarman is currently wrapping up the Junior NBA program, and he has his eye on the adult basketball season ahead.

“It’s always basketball season at the recreation center,” Jarman said. “I’m ready to roll into our 3v3 Adult Basketball league in May.”

Jarman will also head up Youth Flag Football in April. Other WCRP league programs starting this spring include Men’s Softball, Outdoor Soccer, and 4v4 Coed Sand Volleyball.

Chance Congleton is bringing brand-new energy to WCRP outdoor spring programs, including Paddle the Pocomoke, which is set to launch youth from the Pocomoke River Canoe Company on Wednesdays in May. Other favorite outdoor programs include Hooked on Fishing and Dog Obedience.    

Joe Tolbert will lead a special addition to WCRP fitness programs this spring with the Berlin Run Club, which will meet at the Berlin Beer Company on Mondays. Other group fitness programs include Xtreme Hip Hop, Yoga, and Tolbert’s unofficial fan club favorite, Early Bird Fitness.

To better meet the needs of area residents, WCRP provides opportunities for financial aid for youth programs.
