Message from the President
Dear Park District Residents:
A new, inclusive approach to park improvement
that was initiated in 2012 will result in a new
playground in Glen Ellyn Manor Park this year.
The Park District reached out to neighbors via
a survey, focus group, and several meetings to
gather input that proved invaluable. We gained
better insight into attitudes, interests, wants and
needs. As a result, the Park District will have
a neighborhood park that better represents
and serves our district and particularly the
surrounding neighborhood that the playground
serves. The final design has been completed
and includes a new playground for preschoolers
and older children, restored natural areas, a
new path system. We've worked with the Village
and plan to remove an unused cul-de-sac to increase green space in the park. The next phase is working with the
Village to secure permits, seeking bids for construction, and finally, construction itself.
In an effort to increase safety and security at the Spring Avenue Dog Park, the park was fully enclosed last year and
now there is a new swipe card entry system. All dog park members have a swipe card that is now required to enter the
dog park. In addition, the system will increase the park district's ability to better monitor visitations.
While you’re out in the parks, try the new boardwalk in Churchill Park which creates a complete trail loop within the
park or the brand new trail within Ackerman Woods. The Ackerman trail is a quarter-mile loop connecting Lenox Road
and Ackerman Park. Our recent Community Attitude and Interest Survey results show that 67% of respondents want
new walking trails and connections to existing to trails, so we encourage you to check them out.
And finally, we are stepping out of the board room and into the parks to meet our neighbors this summer! The
Park District will begin a series of Commissioners’ Neighborhood Meet & Greet Picnics in three locations. It’s a new
approach we hope will encourage everyone living near these parks to come out and meet their commissioners, learn
more about the Community Attitude and Interest Survey, Lake Ellyn Park Master Plan and other relevant news. We’ll
bring the Block Party Wagon and offer free food on a first come, first served basis. Please see page 17 for details. We
hope to see you there.
See you in the parks,
Melissa Creech
President, Board of Commissioners
Our Mission
The Glen Ellyn Park District is driven to foster diverse, community-based leisure opportunities, through a harmonious

Learn to Swim Program
The Glen Ellyn Park District’s Learn
to Swim program provides a positive,
fun-filled opportunity for children
and adults to learn skills that will help
reduce the number of water accidents
and provide lifelong aquatic enjoyment.
All instructors will be trained and
certified by Jeff Ellis and Associates,
International Aquatics Corporation.
This program is objective driven, rather
than progressive. Each day there is an
objective to meet, using the strengths
of the child to do so. Register for as
many classes or sessions as you wish.
Please see registration instructions in
the back of the brochure. Swimming
lessons are not made up, nor are
refunds provided due to missed
student lessons for inclement weather
or absence. There are no class
cancellations.
Journey I: Pre-Beginner • Age: 3-5
This will be your child’s first swim
lesson experience. Emphasis will be on
group games to acclimate preschoolers
to water thus reducing their fears.
Children are grouped by ability and
work on a variety of skills. This class
follows the same lesson plans as
the Beginner class, but for younger
children.
Journey I: Beginner • Age: 5 & Up
There are three levels in Journey I
Beginner. All children will be tested and
grouped with others of comparable
skills. This class is equivalent to Red
Cross Levels I and II.
In Level A of this Journey, children learn
to hold their breath, open their eyes
underwater, breathe out of their mouth
and nose, and learn water safety. It is
not uncommon for a child to spend
more than one term in this level.
In Level B of this Journey, children
will be introduced to the jelly float,
stomach float, back float and back
glide.
In Level C of this Journey, children
will learn to combine movement with
the glide strokes as well as changing
direction. Many children will need to
repeat this Journey to get through all
the skill levels. This should be expected,
and needs to be considered by those
registering for multiple sessions.
Journey II • Age: 6 & Up
Children must have completed Journey
I or its equivalent. There are several
adventures in this Journey designed
to teach swimmers the front crawl
and backstroke. Swimmers will also be
introduced to the breast stroke. Proper
breathing will be emphasized. Students
will progress at their own speed in this
Journey. Successful completion will
allow for advancement to Journey III.
Journey III • Age: 6 & Up
Children must have completed
Journey II or its equivalent. Journey
III will utilize adventures designed to
introduce swimmers to the elementary
backstroke, butterfly and sidestroke.
Emphasis will be on the coordination
of kicking and pulling movements
associated with each stroke.
Private Swim Lessons
Enjoy individualized swim lessons
designed to develop confidence,
improve stroke mechanics and safety.
Half-hour lessons are available during
open swim. If you are not a pass
holder, you must pay the daily fee
upon entering the pool for lessons. The
instructor will be chosen depending on
needs. To set up your private lesson,
you must talk to the pool manager.

The Glen Ellyn Park District Gators Swim Team is made up of boys and girls from 7-18
years who compete in the West Suburban Swim Conference throughout the summer.
This program is lotteried due to its popularity and limited space capacity. Returning
Gators will have first priority in the lottery, however no spots are guaranteed. The
Gators compete at both “A” (more competitive) and “B” (less experienced) meets. Some
swimmers may not be able to compete at every meet due to very large numbers in
some age groups and levels. Meets are held both at home and away on Tuesday and
Thursday evenings and two or three Saturday mornings. Swim Team is not a lesson
program. Participants learn the techniques and discipline of competitive swimming while learning the value of sportsmanship
and team spirit. Participants 7 and 8 years old must be able to comfortably swim one pool length of freestyle and one pool length
of backstroke. Participants over 9 years old must be able to swim two lengths of the pool freestyle and backstroke. Swimmers
are expected to attend practices on a daily basis. A Swim Team Parent Manual, which further details the program, is available
at the Main Street Recreation Center and Spring Avenue Recreation Center offices after May 1st. The swim team fee includes
paid coaches, team apparel and league fees. A team suit will need to be purchased through our local supplier. Every swim meet
requires a great number of volunteers. Parents are required to work a minimum of two home and away meets. Scheduling will
be arranged during the first two weeks of the program. According to Conference rules, a swimmer’s age shall be determined by
his/her age as of June 1 of the current year. Would you like to become part of the Gator Parent Volunteer Committee? Contact
Kathleen Esposito at 630-942-7261. [KE]

sail in full regalia, commanding vessels
that rival the wonders of Willy Wonka’s
Chocolate Factory.

of Ceremonies, Captain Ed Klemm,
Wheaton North High School’s own state
and national speech coach champ! It’s

This is a specialized class developed by
the USTA that emulates some highly
successful foreign junior development
training procedures. Juniors start out
on a modified tennis court with a fourtiered
tennis ball arrangement. Early
success at being able to rally a tennis
ball is the key to this class.
R/NR Fee: $70/$100 or $90/$120 (Cost
if participant wants racquet included)
Smashers
Age: 5-7
This is a fun introduction to tennis.
It is intended to create a love of the
game. Basic strokes and hand-eye
coordination are emphasized. This class
uses the full length of the tennis court.

Tennis Lessons
(see back cover for details)
All-Stars
Age: 6-8
The love of the game is taken to the
next step. Fun and games further
develop the ground strokes and
hand-eye coordination. This class also
introduces the serve and the volley as
well as putting more focus on proper
footwork.
R/NR Fee: $70/$100 or $90/$120 (Cost
if participant wants racquet included)
Challengers
Age: 9-13

intermediates or higher. Half the class
time will be devoted to instruction
and developmental drills. The other
half will focus on actual match play or
competitive match play drills.
R/NR Fee: $100/$130
Futures A&B
Age: 9-13
This class operates with two levels-ofplay
in mind. First (A), are the beginners
and advanced beginners who will
be placed together for fast-tracked
instructional work. Second (B), are
the intermediate students who have
developed into players that are able to
rally a tennis ball on a regular basis. This
player can now get a high percentage
of their shots in the court, as well as
get most serves in. Desire to compete
against others should be taking hold.
R/NR Fee: $100/$130
Teen Beginners
Age: 13+
This class is for the teen aged child
who is a beginner. The major emphasis
of this class will be learning all the
basics including, grips, groundstroke

goal is to try to fast-track players to
the next level. This next level includes
trying out for the High School team.
R/NR Fee: $70/$100
High School JV2
Age: 14+
This class is for the teenaged child
who is an advanced beginner or a little
better. The major emphasis of this class
will be learning improving the aspects
of your game that allow you try out for
your High School tennis team. In High
School tennis 8 of 11 playing spots are
doubles. Because of this, we focus
much of our attention on doubles play
and strategy for doubles at this level.
We also encourage more singles match
play in the class. This gives us the

see under the pressure of match play.

2013-2014 Preschool Year
The Glen Ellyn Park District Preschool program is sure to keep
active children busy! The Park District Preschool provides
a stimulating environment which enhances socialization,
cooperative play and fun-filled learning. We are a play-based
program that is focused on the idea that children learn the
most from the most creative lessons. Games, crafts, songs
and stories are all age appropriate and easy to enjoy. The
five levels offered by the Glen Ellyn Park District incorporate
science, language and motor development in a recreational
setting. For questions or concerns, please contact Jeannie
Robinson, Recreation Supervisor at jrobinson@gepark.org.
Preschool begins the week of September 3 & 4, 2013 and
concludes the week of May 9, 2014. Classes will not meet on
legal public holidays as determined by the District 41 school
calendar. There may be additional dates which will be stated
in your Glen Ellyn Park District Preschool Calendar.
Program Philosophy
The Glen Ellen Park District provides a variety of experiences
and media to facilitate learning concepts of vocabulary,
numbers, shape, form and other cognitive abilities through a
play-based atmosphere where children explore and develop.
Play serves many developmental purposes. As an activity
of intense concentration and involvement, play is a time
for problem-solving, sorting out and organizing new ideas,
developing an understanding of others and one’s own ability
to relate to them, and investigating and experimenting with
new possibilities.
The daily schedule is a mixture of teacher-directed, childdirected,
small and large group activities based around a
weekly theme. Children are involved with block building, art
materials, music, books, dramatic playing, cooking and more.
Children also have monthly visits from the Glen Ellyn Public
Library, B#arp Music for Children and Nature Programs by the
GEPD Naturalist.

Phillies Travel Softball
Phillies youth travel softball is a Glen
Ellyn Park District program run with
the assistance of the Glen Ellyn Girls
Softball Association.
The program is for female athletes
who would like to make a larger
commitment to fast pitch softball and
play at a higher level of competition.
It starts as young as the 10U level and
continues through the 18U level. It
gives the athletes a chance to play 50

There is also a Phillies All-Star option,
which allows the girls to play in the
house league program and then play a
shortened travel schedule of about 20
games beginning at the end of June
through July. They will play in games
and tournaments appropriated to their
skill level.
The Phillies Fastpitch Softball program
teaches participants the proper rules
of the game and prepares athletes for
future endeavors. Tryouts are held in

The league starts August 31 and runs until October 26. All games will be played
at Ackerman Park on Saturdays between the hours of approximately 8 am and
3 pm. All practices will be held once a week for one hour according to the
volunteer coach’s schedule. Practice location is also dependent on coach’s
choice. All practices are held within the eight-mile Glen Ellyn radius.
What equipment does my child need?
Players must bring their own ball to practice. Shin guards must be worn under
socks and all eyewear must be protective. Kids will be provided a t-shirt (K-2nd
grade) and jersey/shorts (3rd-10th grades) for their uniforms.
Sports Parents
Encourage your child as well as others
to succeed. Please be a team supporter
on the sidelines, not a coach. If you
have any questions or concerns about
your child’s team or coach, please
contact the designated coordinator on
your team schedule or contact Brenden
Berry at 630-942-7288 or by email at
bberry@gepark.org.
Team Assignments
Teams in grades K - 2 are organized as
much as possible by general geographic
areas. The assignments are determined
by the number of available coaches
from each area. We cannot guarantee
that each child will be placed on a
neighborhood team. In Grades 3 - 10,
the primary focus in organizing teams
will be on skill level, with the goal being
the creation of leagues containing evenly
balanced teams. Parents will be notified
of their child’s team by August 23. If you
have not heard from Coach by August
26, please contact Brenden Berry.
GEYSO Meetings

Travel Soccer
Travel Soccer 2013-2014 Season
Youth Travel Soccer is a Glen Ellyn Park District program run
with the assistance of Glen Ellyn Lakers Futbol Club. Teams
are organized through the NISL and IWSL and range from U8-
U18. New volunteers are always welcome. Lakers meetings
are held on the second Monday of each month at Spring
Avenue Recreation Center at 7pm.
Who should play travel team soccer?
Travel team soccer is for players who enjoy playing soccer
and have the desire and dedication to play at a more
competitive level. Players receive extensive training twice a
week in the evening with professional trainers and coaches
certified by the Illinois Youth Soccer Association (IYSA) who
are committed to developing skilled players.
Time Commitments and Expectations
Travel soccer demands a fairly large time commitment since
our soccer year extends from August to June. The year
program begins in August with a one-week training camp for
all teams. Then each week during the fall and spring league
season, the teams train twice a week for 90 minutes each
time.
During the winter season, the teams have training sessions
once a week for a ten-week period and may also participate
in indoor soccer leagues in preparation for the spring season.
Fall and spring games are usually scheduled on Sundays.
Teams play a ten-game schedule each fall and 8 games each
spring with half on the home fields and the remainder away.
We expect players to have fun. We expect players to be at
all training sessions and games. We expect them to respect
coaches, trainers, fellow team players, parents, equipment,
facilities, game officials, and game opponents at all times. We
expect the players to come to all events with the necessary
equipment, their team commitment, and ready to play.
For more information about the club, visit www.gelakers.com
or call Brenden Berry at 630-942-7288.

Tryouts
Anyone wishing to play on a Lakers Travel team must try out.
This includes any player currently on an existing Travel team.
Tryouts enable players to be organized into teams by age
and similar skill level. This allows training and competition to
occur on an equal basis which creates an environment where
players can be challenged and learn more effectively.
Tryouts are a two-day process. All players must attend both
days of tryouts to be eligible to make a team. All tryouts will
be held at Ackerman Park and conducted by Future Pros
trainers. Please contact a member of the Lakers committee if
there is a conflict. All players must pre-register for tryouts on
the Lakers website.
Tryout Dates
U8-U14 Co-Rec: May 13, 16 and 18
U8-U14 Girls: May 29, 30, June 1
Please check Lakers website for specific days/times for each
age group.
Glen Ellyn Lakers Academy
Lakers Academy is a program for 5-7 year old boys
and girls who love soccer, but are not sure about the
commitment of travel soccer. In the Lakers Academy,
your child will be coached by the same professional
coaches as the rest of the Lakers players, and train
in the same manner as Lakers players. But instead of
playing games in our travel leagues, your child will
play internal games and scrimmages in a “microleague”
format. The Lakers Academy is a great way
to get a taste for travel soccer without the yearlong
commitment. Concurrent participation in both
the Glen Ellyn House League and Lakers Academy
is encouraged. For more information visit: www.
gelakers.com/lakers-academy.aspx.
Registration for the following programs was
held during the winter:
• Youth Baseball
• Girls Softball

General Information
Americans with Disabilities Act
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits
discrimination on the basis of a disability. The Glen Ellyn Park
District will make reasonable accommodations in recreation
programs to enable participation by an individual with a
disability that meets essential eligibility requirements for that
leisure program and facility. If you have questions or believe
you have been unfairly discriminated against by the park
district, please contact Nick Cinquegrani, Superintendent of
Finance and Personnel at 630-942-7257. Those who use the
Telecommunications Device for the Deaf may reach the park
district by calling the Illinois Relay Line at 800-526-0844.
Behavior Policy
Participants are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior at
all times. The following guidelines have been developed to
help make park district programs safe and enjoyable for all
participants. Additional rules may be developed for particular
programs and athletic leagues as deemed necessary by staff.
Participants shall:
1. Show respect to all participants and staff, take direction
from staff.
2. Refrain from using abusive or foul language.
3. Refrain from causing bodily harm to self, other
participants or staff.
4. Show respect for equipment, supplies and facilities.
A positive approach will be used regarding discipline. Staff will
periodically review rules with participants during the program

will be sought specific to each individual situation. The park
district reserves the right to dismiss a participant whose
behavior endangers the safety of himself /herself or others.
Insurance
The Glen Ellyn Park District does not provide medical
insurance coverage for individuals who participate in our
programs or use our facilities. To do so would make programs
and user fees cost-prohibitive.
Non-Resident Policy & Membership
Glen Ellyn Park District residents, through property taxes,
make a financial contribution to the Park District operations.
Nonresidents are charged higher fees for programs than
residents to compensate for property tax disparity.
Residents of Glen Ellyn who are not residents of the Glen
Ellyn Park District or any other park district may receive all
the privileges of belonging to the Glen Ellyn Park District by
paying the equivalent of Park District taxes annually. This
membership allows for priority registration, pool passes, and
