6:00 PM - 7:00 PM	Youth Archery - Grades 4-6 This Beginner Archery Program is designed for beginners who are just getting into the sport or want to improve their skills. It will guide you through the basics of archery, including proper stance, form, and technique, to help you build a solid foundation. By the end of this 5-week starter program, your kid should feel more comfortable with the basic techniques of archery: proper stance, form, drawing the bow, and releasing arrows with accuracy.  Instructor: Roman O'Brienhalla & Dylan LamarreGrade: 4th - 6th Cost: $85/participant      Time: 6pm - 7pm      Where: Standish Memorial Park695 Ossipee Trl W, Standish, ME 04084When: Friday's 5/9/25 - 6/5/25      (5 Week Program)Week 1: Introduction to Archery and Basic Skills- Introduction to Archery Equipment and Safety Objective: Familiarize yourself with the equipment and basic safety rules. Bow: Learn the different types of bows (Long, Recurve, Compound) and basic parts of the bow (limbs, riser, string, sight). Arrows: Understand arrow types and components (shaft, Fletching, point). Safety Gear: Learn how to properly wear the bow release, and an arm guard. Always point the bow in a safe direction. Don’t dry-fire the bow (shoot without an arrow). Follow all range rules and listen to instructors. Equipment Overview: Safety:        Practice: Practice nocking an arrow (placing the arrow on the string) and learning the correct grip on the bow. Week 2: Stance, Form, and Shooting Basics Objective: Focus on establishing a solid stance and form for consistent shooting. Feet shoulder-width apart, facing sideways to the target. Proper Stance:      Slight bend in your knees for balance. Relax your body; avoid tension in your shoulders or arms. Grip and Draw: Hold the bow with a relaxed grip — don’t squeeze too tight. Practice drawing the bowstring back using your back muscles, not your arms. Anchor Point: Establish a consistent anchor point (where your drawing hand touches your face, corner of your mouth or chin).       Practice: Practice shooting 3-5 arrows at a target from 10 yards, focusing on form and relaxation. Week 3: Aiming and Focus Objective: Learn basic aiming techniques and mental focus. Focus on the tip of your arrow or use a sight (if applicable) to aim. Learn the difference between open sight aiming (no sight) and sighted shooting (using a bow sight). Practice focusing on your shot process, not the target. Breathing techniques to relax before drawing the bow. Aiming: Mental Focus:          Practice: Shoot 3-5 arrows, aiming at a target from 10 yards. Focus on aiming and smooth release. Record your shots (where they land) to track progress. Week 4: Building Consistency and StrengthDay 1: Review and Practice Shooting Objective: Strengthen your shooting form and consistency. Check your stance and form before every shot. Focus on consistent bow hand placement and smooth drawing. Smooth release of the string (don’t jerk the bow).

Join this fun, dynamic class. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your muscles, build bone, support your joints, or improve your balance...this class is for you. Movement sequences are thoughtfully designed to safely and gradually explore therapeutic movements that will improve your quality of life. Strength training can be done with or without small hand weights. Much of the class can be done from a chair or from standing, and all are welcome!

Over the course of the program, children will have the opportunity to learn and practice essential skills such as throwing, hitting, and catching, which are crucial for their development in the sport. Additionally, participating in T-ball helps young players improve their hand-eye coordination and overall motor skills. The program is designed to be engaging and interactive, ensuring that children not only learn the basics of the game but also develop a love for sports and teamwork. Coaches typically emphasize positive reinforcement and encouragement, creating a nurturing atmosphere where children can build confidence and enjoy physical activity.Dates: Thursday's 5/1-6/5Time: 5:00pm-6:00pm           Saturday game schedule TBD  Location: Standish Memorial Park (Softball Fields)Ages: 4-6 years oldCost: $60 Please bring your child with: Water Sneakers/Cleats (optional)  Glove  Helmet  Limited bats & helmets will be on site available to use.Additional Information: This is a co-ed league Registration for the 2025 season closes Wednesday, April 30th *We are unable to accommodate special requests for team placement.

To promote responsible canine care to Standish area citizens and visitors who will uphold the park’s rules. To respond to the needs of the area for a multi-generational park activity for pets and their people that will be a complement to the town’s existing recreation areas and maintain a positive presence in the community by encouraging recreation through the dog park.When is the park open?The dog park opened in the fall of 2022 and is open daily until snowfall. If weather and conditions permit, the park is open.

To promote responsible canine care to Standish area citizens and visitors who will uphold the park’s rules. To respond to the needs of the area for a multi-generational park activity for pets and their people that will be a complement to the town’s existing recreation areas and maintain a positive presence in the community by encouraging recreation through the dog park.When is the park open?The dog park opened in the fall of 2022 and is open daily until snowfall. If weather and conditions permit, the park is open. It may be closed for maintenance, or if the grounds are too wet. The factors considered when deciding to close the park will be based on safety, and just as important, the potential of damage to the grounds. It will be closed in the winter if conditions are unsafe.

The Town of Standish also received over $360,000 in additional local and federal grants (CDBG and LWCF). The post-construction dog park supplies and amenities such as poop bags, agility elements, shade canopies, benches, etc. will be funded by donations and fundraisers. The Ad-hoc Committee, in partnership with the parks and recreation department, developed a management plan for rules and on-going maintenance of the park. The rules and management of the park will be enforced by volunteers who are Standish residents who have participated in the Dog Park Ambassador Program, and have been endorsed by the parks and recreation department. How to get involved:-Make a donation @ www.standishrec.com or in person at Town Hall (checks payable to: Town of Standish-Participate in any offered fundraisers.  -Donate bottles to our Clynk account (bags available at Parks & Rec office)-Follow the “Standish Community Dog Park” Facebook page for updates-Take good care of the park.
