Organized Playgroups

Organized Playgroups is an innovative at-home playgroup designed for children between 18 and 36 months of age, operating in the towns of Darien, Greenwich, Rowayton and Stamford, CT. Playgroups are run by trained early childhood educators at your home, on a rotating basis with other families in the playgroup. Their mission is to provide children with a play-based, positive experience that will develop their cognitive, physical, social and creative skills. They meet from September 13, 2010 to May 30, 2011. For more information, see www.organizedplaygroups.com or email them at vponce@organizedplaygroups.com.

 Rowayton Youth Soccer
The 2010 Rowayton Soccer season is currently under way with hundreds of players all improving their skills and enjoying friendly competition. Rowayton Youth Soccer is a recreational community soccer program run by volunteers for children from 4-14 years old and is running for 10 weeks from September 4 through November 6 this year. We have four age groups: 4-5 year olds; 6-7 year olds; 8-11 year olds; and middle school. While games are certainly competitive, recreation is our priority: the time commitment is limited to two days and a couple of hours per week; all play occurs locally in Rowayton (except for middle-schoolers); practices are run as clinics by a professional trainer; and referees, scoring and team standings are limited to the two older age groups. Also, as a volunteer-based organization, we are always looking for parents willing to coach. Additional information can be found on the RCA website at www.rowaytonct.com/youthsoccer.html.
