(Special Programs Organized for Recreation Time)

A year round program which provides activities for individuals with special needs. Participants of all ages and levels are welcome to enroll. The Towns of Belmont and Watertown, user fees and donations fund the program. Dedicated volunteers enable the S.P.O.R.T. Program to offer many outstanding programs at nominal fees. We promise continued excellence in recreation programming for individuals with special needs.

 

Registration Information

Welcome to the start of the 2012 Spring/Summer season for Belmont S.P.O.R.T. To make registering for programs easier and to better plan your spring and summer schedules, we will register now for programs through the end of summer. We encourage you to plan ahead. Register early as programs will fill up and space is limited. Be sure to provide us with up to date contact information such as address, phone and e-mail address. These are helpful in allowing us to notify participants of changes and/or cancellations.

 

*IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION*

Family members and staff, always make sure that there is an instructor or coach at a program before you drop off an athlete. Also, please arrive on time to pick up an athlete at the end of a program or event. There should be no instance where an athlete is left unsupervised.
