We Asked, You Answered: Favorite Fall Programs

Ask any player on the field, and they'll tell you the best part of their week comes down to playing softball with good friends and against friendly faces. Under the lights at Northside Park each week from mid-August to October, the Men’s Softball League is a great way to enjoy fresh air, break up the work week, and spend an evening outdoors.

Wednesday nights in the crisp fall air is what flag football is all about. This program is a favorite for parents and kids in grades 1-9. Players learn core football fundamentals while having fun and making new friends. There's a reason why this youth league sees such a great turnout each year!

Fall is the perfect season for kids to get outside and get some exercise while having fun! This program promotes physical fitness and running fundamentals in an exciting, high-energy environment. Meeting at Northside Park, young runners in grades 1-6 build endurance and skills through a mix of speed and agility drills, games, races, and long distance runs along the park’s path. It is a great way for students to burn off after-school energy, build confidence, and stay active with friends!

Zumba is for everybody and every body, so it’s no shock this is a fan favorite! Instructor Joyce Landsman brings energy and fun to every class throughout the fall, combining fitness, cardio, muscle conditioning, balance, and flexibility. These classes are a perfect way to move your body to the music while getting a great workout. Who could say no to that?

Designed specifically for those little athletes taking their first step into organized sports. In the fall, Ocean City Recreation and Parks offers both Start Smart Lacrosse and Start Smart Soccer.
