As the third week of summer programming comes to a close,
Mayor Thomas M. Menino and Daphne Griffin, Boston?s Chief of Human Services and
Boston Centers for Youth & Families? (BCYF) Executive Director, remind
Boston residents that BCYF?s offers three free daily citywide sports centers
throughout the summer.
?
Located at Sartori Stadium at East Boston Memorial Park,
White Stadium at Franklin Park and Moakley Park in South Boston, the sports
centers offer boys and girls ages 7-14 the opportunity to learn the fundamentals
of a variety of sports.? Activities offered differ
slightly by location but may include: baseball/softball, tennis, basketball,
football, golf and soccer as well as a variety of non-sports recreational
activities.?
?
?Our sports centers give young children the opportunity to
try out a variety of sports in a fun, non-competitive environment,? said Daphne
Griffin.? ?While the kids are having fun learning new sports and making friends,
they are also enhancing their skills in social interaction, physical
conditioning, and psychological development.?
?
Daily registration is accepted but pre-registration is
preferred.? The BCYF East Boston Summer Recreation & Sports Center and the
BCYF Moakley Park Sports Center begin each day at 9 a.m.? The BCYF White Stadium
Sports Center begins at 8:30 a.m.? The East Boston and Moakley Centers are only
a couple years old but the White Stadium Sports Center has been operating for 21
years!? For more information and to get the registration form for each sports
center, visit www.cityofboston.gov/bcyf.

In addition to the sports centers, BCYF offers over 50 summer
day camps, dozens of recreations programs and many special events as part of the
Boston R.O.C.K.S!!! summer programming campaign. Now in its sixth year, Boston
R.O.C.K.S!!! (Recreational Opportunities for City Kids,) is aimed at connecting
Boston youth with programs and activities.? Led by BCYF, the signature programs

called ?Boston R.O.C.K.S Out!!!? and family-friendly cookouts at different BCYF
swimming pools each week called ?Boston R.O.C.K.S the Block!!!??
