As the days get shorter and the winter season approaches, Oyster Bay Town Councilman Louis Imbroto invites residents to take part in Co-Ed Recreational Programs for badminton, basketball and volleyball which will all be held at the Town of Oyster Bay Hicksville Athletic beginning in early January.  Registration for these programs will be open throughout the month of December at the Athletic Center, which is located at 167 Broadway in Hicksville.

“These recreational programs are a great way to have fun and stay active throughout the cold and dreary months of the winter season,” said Councilman Imbroto.  “All of these recreational programs are open to residents ages 18 and older, and serve as a great opportunity to make new friends and stay in shape during the winter doldrums.”

The Co-Ed Badminton program will feature three sessions available for registrants to choose from: Tuesdays from 9:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.; Fridays from 9:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.; and Sundays from 8:15 p.m. to 10:15 p.m.  The Badminton program is 12-weeks long and costs $75 for residents and $100 for non-residents.

The Co-Ed Volleyball program will begin in early January and will be split into two different divisions: competitive and novice. Competitive sessions will be held on Mondays from 9:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.; Wednesdays from 9:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.; and Sundays from 6:45 p.m. to 8:45 p.m.  Sessions for the novice division will take place on Mondays from 10:30 p.m. to Midnight, Wednesdays from 10:30 p.m. to Midnight, and Sundays 8:45 p.m. to 10:45 p.m.  The volleyball program is 12-weeks long, and costs residents $75 and $100 for non-residents.
