Village of Rye Brook

Dear Rye Brook Resident:

I hope this brochure finds you healthy during this difficult time and looking forward to some recreation activities. As the new school year is upon us, so is a new recreation season. It will be a recreation season that looks very different. We have had to think of new ways to offer programming in a safe manner given all of the concerns during this pandemic. I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to experience Recreation’s wide ranging activities for all ages. Popular Recreation programs include floor hockey, ice skating, bowling, men’s basketball and many other activities to fit into your fall schedule. This year, Rye Brook Recreation will be offering an After School for Kids program at Ridge St. School for all Ridge St. School students needing an ex-tended day program. New for this fall are: Ballet, Flag Football, Cheerleading, Parent/Child Virtual Cooking class and Fire Extinguisher Training and Home Safety for adults. Coming in December is the Winterfest event to commence the holiday season. After School for Kids is an after school program at Ridge Street School. The typical

after school program times will be from dismissal (approx. 3:10pm) until 6:30pm

(pickups can occur at any time in between) and the times will be extended when

shorter school days are scheduled in advance. As in the past, if your child is partic-

ipating in a separate PTA or Recreation program at Ridge Street Elementary School

during the after school program hours, Rye Brook Recreation staff will bring and

return the children to these programs as well. For those not registered in any other

alternative programs, the children will be busy with a variety of recreational activi-

ties.

Rye Brook Recreation will be hosting an Old Fashioned Drive-In Movie in the Of-fice Park at 1100 King Street on Saturday, September 10th (rain date September 11th). We will be showing the movie (Jumanji - The Next Level) which will begin at 7:30pm, where refreshments will be sold. Come early and get a good parking/viewing spot for the movie. We hope to see all of you at this event to kick off the new school and recreation year.

The Rye Brook Tennis Courts will remain open through Thanksgiving. Reservation are required through Community Pass. To reserve a court time, residents must possess a valid 2021 tennis permit. Reservations are still required for tracing purposes due to COVID - 19. Reservations must be done prior to 3:00pm on the previous day in order to make a res-ervation. Thank you for your patience and adhering to our safety rules for the 2021 Tennis Season. In the month of October, Tennis Courts 3 and 4 at Pine Ridge Park will be closed for resurfacing for 2 weeks. In memory of Paula Bertolacci, the 11th annual “Paula’s Pals” Coat Drive will take place from September 25th to December 3rd to collect clean reusable coats for the needy. These coats will be donated to the Saint Peters Church, La Caritas where they will be distributed to our local needy neighbors. Paula’s goal before passing in January 2011, was to donate 150 coats to the needy. We hope to meet this goal again this year. Collection boxes will be located at the Rye Brook Recreation Department and the Anthony J. Posillipo Center. Please note that online registration will begin on Wednesday, September 8th at 9:30pm. I look forward to seeing you at some of our programs and hope that Rye Brook Recreation is meeting your recreational needs. Robert Bertolacci Parks & Recreation Superintendent

Adult Programs



Tai Chi ZOOM CLASS The Program is a Mixture of 3 Key Programs, Tai Chi, Chi Gung, and Feldenkrais. Tai Chi is considered one of the oldest forms of Martial Arts, Tai Chi relaxes the mind as it strengthens, stretches and reconditions the muscles. Often called “meditation in motion” Tai Chi uses a consistent flow of movement combined with deep abdominal breathing to relax and rejuvenate the mind, body and soul. Chi Gung is the art of balancing internal energy within your body to achieve physical, mental and spiritual health. Chi Gung training uses the mind to move chi energy throughout the body and to cultivate willpower, patience and endurance. With proper train-ing you can learn to gain more energy, and even slow down the signs of aging. Feldenkrais is gentle exercise that helps to eliminate the division between body and mind, as it restores full physical function and relieves pain. The exercises are designed to give you greater freedom of movement and increased performance. This is ideal for senior citizens and those looking to strengthen the mind-body connection.

How it Works: We take the “work” out of the workout, by mixing low intensity and high intensity moves for an interval-style, calorie burning dance fitness party.

Pickleball

Come Play the Fastest Growing Low-Impact Racquet Sport in America, Pickleball! Pickleball is a fun sport that combines many elements of tennis, badminton and Ping-Pong. It’s played on a badmin-ton-sized court with a slightly modified tennis net using a ping-pong style paddle and a plastic ball with holes. The game is most often played as doubles. A Pickleball court is about one-third the size of a tennis court, which means less ground to cover perhaps explaining why it is particularly popular with 40+ men and women. DESCRIPTIONS: Open Play Sessions: Adults (18+) play Pickleball on 3 regu-lation sized outdoor courts. A limited number of monthly passes are available for the open play sessions for $20 for residents and $25 for non-residents. Players have to make a reservation via Community Pass in order to play on any certain day and are expected to put up and tear down the portable nets as a group. Please park near the Mansion in Crawford Park (122 N. Ridge Street, Rye Brook, NY 10573). Walk about 150 ft south toward the playground. Facing away from the Mansion, you should see a 6 ft wall. Go around that wall. You are now at the 3 outdoor Pickleball courts in Rye Hills Park.
