Start Smart Sports Programs Return to Talbot County Parks and Recreation

Talbot County Parks and Recreation is excited to announce the return of the popular Start Smart Sports Development Program which is designed to give children ages 3-5 an engaging and supportive introduction to sports.

The Start Smart Sports Development Program, created by the National Alliance for Youth Sports, was developed to help kids build motor skills and self-confidence before entering organized team sports. Through hands-on parental involvement, children gain essential skills in a low-pressure setting, fostering a positive first experience with sports.

This fall, Start Smart Soccer will run on Tuesday evenings from October 8 to November 19, while Start Smart Basketball will take place on Wednesday evenings from October 9 to November 20. Both programs focus on developing fundamental skills through age-appropriate activities and exercises.

“We’re thrilled to bring this program back to our community,” said LaDarian Blake, Assistant Director of Parks and Recreation. “It’s a great way to introduce kids to sports while fostering parental involvement.”

Each 6-week session costs $40, and parents are encouraged to register early as spots are limited. Parental participation is required. For more information or to sign up, visit Talbot County Parks and Recreation or call 410-770-8050.
