Youth Sports Leagues

Sports

Youth Sports Leagues Playing sports offers children more than just physical benefits. Sports typically help kids academically and socially as well. The benefits are the same whether or not your child actually excels at the sport. Although if they are really good they will probably want to continue playing when they are older. If your child isn't good enough to play competitively on a school team try signing them up for a city league or encourage them to just go shoot some hoops with their friends or church group.

Christmas Belles in Coppell

CBe

A church Christmas program spins hilariously out of control in this Southern farce about squabbling sisters, family secrets, a surly Santa, a vengeful sheep, and a reluctant Elvis impersonator. The second in a trilogy that started with Theatre Coppell’s production of Dearly Beloved, it stars the same Futrelle sisters and the denizens of Fayro, Texas, where the bus stops at the BooKoo Bokay flower shop and the Christmas parade’s winning float is from Clovis Sanford’s House of Meat. A loving spoof of East Texas life. December 7 – 23, … [Read more...]

One summer off can sometimes mean a whole school year of struggling academic performance." Fortunately, there are many incentive programs to encourage kids to read this summer. Businesses such as Borders Books, Barnes and Noble, Half Price Books, Pizza Hut, and Chuck E. Cheese … [Read more...]
