Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: For Short Shots (ages 2 to 6), register through the registration link on the Short Shots page. For Playmakers, RSVP for an application day or open house through the link on the site..
You need to sign up first.
What to expect
Short Shots is a 60-minute class once a week for six weeks, held on Saturdays from 11 am to noon. Each class is an hour of active play, skill building and games for children ages 2 to 6. The site does not name the class location or say whether parents may stay, so ask when you register.
Tips for your first visit
- Register through the Short Shots link before you come, since sign-up is needed.
- Ask where the class meets when you register, because the site does not name the field.
- Ask about financial help when you register if cost is a concern.
- For Playmakers, the fall application days and open houses are listed without a year, so confirm the current dates when you RSVP.
