Behind the Gavel: Feb. 18, 2025
The Bryan City Council meets on Tuesday, Feb. 18, for their workshop and regular meetings at City Hall. Learn everything you need to know about the meeting here.
When kids join competitive athletic programs too early, they often miss out on learning the foundational skills needed for long-term success. Building basic abilities is an important first step in their sports journey.
That’s why the City of Bryan’s Parks and Recreation Department offers Fundamental Football and Start Smart Sports that use age-appropriate equipment to teach progressive motor skills through fun drills. Kids build confidence and essential motor skills for future athletic success, all without the pressure of competition or risk of injury.
The cost is $45 per resident or $55 per non-resident. A parent or guardian is encouraged to participate with their child.
