Partnerships <br /> <br /> The success of the programs sponsored by the Special <br />Populations/Special Events Division is due to the excellent <br />cooperation we have had with individuals, non-profit orga- <br />nizations, local businesses and corporations, and other gov- <br />ernment agencies throughout the county and region. Without <br />their financial support, individual leadership, and active par- <br />ticipation the diverse range of recreation opportunities offered <br />by this division would not have been possible. <br /> <br /> Due to space limitations we can not list each individual <br />name and organization, however we would like to thank all of <br />our co-sponsors and volunteem for a very successful year. <br /> <br />Athletic Division <br /> <br /> The Athletic Division operates programs for youth and <br />adults that consist of leagues, tournaments, special events and <br />clinics. Programs offered are co-sponsored with local youth <br />athletic associations, Concord Parks and Recreation Depart- <br />ment, Cannon Memorial YMCA, U.S.S.S.A. and N.S.A. <br />softball organizations, and local businesses. The past year has <br />seen a leveling off in the number of participants in youth <br />athletics after a year of tremendous growth. There are leagues <br />offered in soccer, football, basketball, baseball, and softball. <br />Adult programs include basketball and softball leagues. The <br />Athletic Division strives to provide programs that will instill <br />valuable lessons in sportsmanship, fair play and teamwork. <br />Educational programs such as the training of officials, coaches <br />and league administrators are part of what makes the Athletic <br />Division a valuable asset to the community. <br /> <br />Youth Succer <br /> <br /> Youth soccer participation increased rapidly from the <br />previous year with 109 teams playing in countywide leagues. <br />Leagues are co-ed and are offered for ages 6 - 17.

Pleasant Athletic Association <br />and the Cannon Memorial YMCA but are open to all residen ts. <br />Games are played on Saturdays at Mt.
