GET OUT & PLAY IS COLLECTING GENTLY USED SKI CLOTHING, HELMETS & GOGGLES |
It is time to clean out your closets! YSA is collecting CLEAN used snow gear to help get out our scholarship kids properly dressed for the slopes. We can take all gear except skis and boots (Switchback sports will take used skis and boots if you are looking to get rid of them). There is a box in the lobby of each Park City Elementary School to place items for collection or you can drop off at the YSA offices at 1665 Bonanza Drive (above the Intermountain Healthcare Insta-Care Clinic).
Get Out & Play will outfit scholarship students on December 9th at McPolin Elementary School.

GET READY FOR WINTER & TRAIN WITH OLYMPIANS — STILL TIME TO JOIN
Our "Get Fit For Winter" series started last week, but there are still spots available! The CrossFit PC team will take you through various exercises to help you improve your strength and conditioning, but more importantly help with injury prevention in the upcoming ski season. This 10 session, 5 week course is OPEN TO ALL ABILITIES, beginner through advanced athlete. As a bonus 7 of our local Olympians will be dropping by to give you some tips and train with you.
ALL MONEY RAISED GOES TO THE GET OUT & PLAY SCHOLARSHIP FUND. Last year we helped 130 students get on the slopes, enjoy ice skating and ride mountain bikes. For some, this is their only chance to experience skiing or snowboarding.
