Adaptive Soccer Fun “ASF”

$50 Discounted for residents,
$60 Regular fee for non-residents

Ages 5 thru adult

This soccer club is a special needs soccer program aimed at people ages 5 through adults who want to play soccer but are unable to participate in mainstream programs. The 8-week section features clinic-like sections that focus on conditioning, basic skills, rules of the game and most importantly, having fun. Parents and families are encouraged to participate by either cheering on the sidelines or occasionally taking the field to scrimmage, as they desire.

Lasting friendships have been developed between the players and families from Linden, Fenton, Swartz Creek, Davison, Grand Blanc, and more. This club has been invited to play at special events at local high schools and universities. The team is run by long-time Coach Jerry Davis with assistance from a crew of “Buddies” who help on the field. Most events will be on Saturday morning from 10:30 am to noon starting on Saturday, August 31. There will be a total of 10 events with the projected last event being Saturday, October 30. There will also be 3 weekday sessions within this time frame.

SLPR Silver Lake Road Connector Trail Public Hearing

Proposed Silver Lake Road Connector Trail M.D.N.R. Grant Application

The Southern Lakes Regional Metropolitan Parks and Recreation Commission (SLPR) is developing a Michigan Department of Natural Resources Trust Fund grant application for the development of the Silver Lake Road Connector Trail. The pathway will be constructed along the south side of Silver Lake Road through the communities of Linden, Fenton and Fenton Township and connects Triangle Park in the City of Linden with Silver Lake Park in the City of Fenton.  The proposed pathway benefits the southern lakes area communities by providing alternate transportation, recreational opportunities, and regional connectivity with an overall goal to develop non-motorized connectivity within these southern Genesee County communities and beyond.

SLPR will be holding an informational public hearing on Thursday, September 17that 6 PM to explain the proposed project and grant application and seek input from the community. Due to COVID restrictions, the public hearing will be held using the Zoom meeting platform.  Use the following link to attend the meeting, ask questions and/or show your support: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86805964438?pwd=SGY4UzAwd3U1ZTlEWU54YS9JdmduUT09  or dial in at (646) 558-8656, using the meeting ID 868 0596 4438 and Pass Code   606872.
