As the summer is winding down, Parks and Rec can’t
say THANK YOU enough for all of our participants,
coaches, pool staff and seasonal help for the time and
dedication provided to us. Without these volunteers
and seasonal staff, we wouldn't have the programs that
we have, nor could we maintain our facilities.
As we head into the fall, we look forward to offering
new programsvand events for both youth and adults.

September. Until then, you can keep current with our
events online at our website or contact Louise to receive

NORWALK FAMILY TAEKWONDO
This program offers classes for ages 5 through adults.
The classes are separated by rank (beginners and ad-
vanced) and students meet twice a week. Class meets
on Tuesdays and Thursdays, at Oviatt gym (6pm start)
or Multi-purpose room (7pm start). Times will vary
depending on location due to school activities.
We also offer our Little Dragon program designed
for children ages 5 to 7. Little Dragons meet twice a
week. This program is run concurrently with the begin—
ning class.
All programs consist of hand and foot techniques,
forms, self-defense, and lessons and instructions on top-
ics such as respect, self-discipline, and perseverance.
Competition is also available for those students who are
interested. Competition teaches sportsmanship, gives
confidence, and allows the students to use the skills they
have learned in class.
Families are strongly encouraged to join and train
together. We found that the kids learn better when one
or both of their parents/guardians are learning along-
side of them in class. Cost per Session: Resident-Little
Dragons/Twice a Week, $46, non-resident $53; Family
Taekwondo (ages 8 and above), lst Family Member-
Norwalk residents $57.50, non-residents $66.25; 2nd and
3rd Family Members-Norwalk residents $28.75 each,
