Our Mission: To provide an avenue for residents of Salem, both young and old, to achieve a lifestyle of fitness, growth, joy and skill development while improving self worth and character. It is our mission to enhance the quality of life for current residents and future generations. Department Goals: Provide clean and safe parks, green spaces and recreational facilities. Provide efficient and valuable services to Salem residents. Effectively plan for the future needs of Salem residents. Continually strive to improve existing facilities while seeking opportunities for future development. Create a partnership with Salem residents and businesses to improve the quality of life for all, and promote commercial growth.

I think when people first hear Parks & Recreation they think games, balls and playing around. In my fifteen years in the Recreation field I have learned that Parks & Recreation has a larger footprint than just fun and games. Recreation is about a community and its quality of life. It is about local business, its public health and safety. It s about positive experiences between adults and youth. It is a whole lot more than trying to build the next great athlete. This past year I have had three local mothers communicate the need for a positive experience for their child. I am sure these situations are not limited to the three, but maybe more prevalent than we may realize, here in Salem. Mother 1; expressed that her son was picked on and bullied at our local Jr. High. He had lost his desire to go to school; he didn t want to be put down anymore. Mother 2; shared that her son is picked on every day at the local elementary school. She signed her son up for one of our programs, but first wanted to make sure that this young boy was not also signed up for the same program. Her son would rather not play if he had to deal with him outside of school. Mother 3; has a daughter that likes sports, most of the girls her age at her elementary school prefer dance. Her daughter is told to play with the boys when she tries to interact with the girls. Leaving her daughter feeling left out and lonely. I share these examples as issues that we have here in our community. The parents of these children hurt for their children as they are picked on. They look for solutions and improvement in their children s lives. As the Recreation Director I see events like the Sandy Hook shootings and wonder how similar that community is to ours. I hope that we are different; I hope that we can hear a call for help and give the attention needed. What are we (The City) doing to help these issues? As a City we strive to monitor possible trouble situations. We communicate between departments, Recreation to Police to Schools. We look for kids who can help put an arm around those in need of a friend and we challenge them to do so. The Mayor is starting a Mayors Youth Council to approach topics that are of importance to the youth of Salem. We hope to motivate a movement of friendship. What can you do to help these issues? Be involved, talk to your kids about their day. Ask questions to make sure things really are good in their lives. Don t be afraid to ask the deep questions, could your child be the one that picks on others? Salem is a great community; it is a great place to raise a family. I am excited to be part of this community. To serve, to get to know your families and provide enjoyable activities for them. It is my goal to help your family enjoy Salem. We would love to hear your suggestions and thoughts. Salem Making life Better! Matt Marziale Salem Parks & Recreation

In the summer of 2011 I left my previous career in the banking industry to attend to the needs of my family. I enjoyed working in that field a great deal, it was difficult to leave. Having always worked I wanted to find something part time. I read a quote by Maya Angelou that said I ve learned that making a living is not the same as making a life. If one is not working for monetary gain the other rewards you get from working become more important. I was very excited to get this job. I grew up here and love Salem in a melancholy, ridiculous, and embarrassingly cheesy way. I love working with the recreation department, I get to work with a director that truly cares about kids, a mayor that really loves Salem and worries about every detail in running this city, and I get to work with a lot of great parents and kids which make this the great city that it is. For those of you that grew up here and chose to stay and raise your families, you re awesome, we must think alike. For those of you who are new, welcome, I hope you jump in with both feet and submerse yourself in all the great things we have here, and I hope you come to consider Salem home. When Aaron Cloward ran for city council, at meet the candidate night he said that as a child his favorite things growing up were Christmas, Fiesta Days on the 24 th of July and Salem Days. I agree, Salem Days as well as participating in the other activities we offer as a recreation department are great ways to help make and enjoy our community. Jen Wright I have worked in the Salem Recreation Department for 6 years and I can honestly say that I love my job. As a lifelong resident of Salem, I have a lot of community spirit and a strong love for our city. When Salem was still a tiny little town, my parents were involved with the building of our Veterans Ball Park and Snack Shack, and my brothers helped build the Loafer View Ball Park as their Eagle Projects. I volunteer as an EMT for Salem s Ambulance and my husband is a volunteer firefighter. Working for the city in the Recreation Department is another way for me to enjoy serving, and be involved with our community. I love working with our residents and youth of Salem. I have a lot of fun with our activities that entertain as well as build valuable life skills. Recreation is FUN and it also teaches values such as responsibility, respect, camaraderie, pride and sportsmanship. Salem isn t a tiny little town anymore, but we have a wonderful mayor, city managers and a director that still have those small town values. We strive to offer fun and educational programs that make our beautiful little city the best it can be. Michelle McKean

Coaches Discount Policy Salem Parks & Recreation offers various youth sports programs. Each program is organized and maintained by recreation staff. Coaching for all youth sports is done by volunteer coaches. Coaches are selected from a pool of volunteers, including solicitations of parents. All coaches must pass a back ground check prior to serving as a volunteer. Volunteer coaches will receive a voucher at the conclusion of the sport coached. These vouchers can be used for future registrations. The amount of the voucher is dictated by the sport each volunteer coaches. $20 voucher will be issued for all programs with an early registration fee of $25 or less. $30 voucher will be issued for all programs will an early fee cost of $26 or more. The voucher system is by no means an avenue for payment or compensation of the coach s time. It is a simple thank you and acknowledgement of the coach s time and efforts.

JOIN US ON FACEBOOK: For events and standings like us on face book! Salem Parks & Recreation Travel teams and Accelerated Sports There are a lot of different options when it comes to activities for our Salem Youth to be involved in. There are recreation programs offered by the community. There are travel clubs and teams in almost all sports. Finding somewhere to play sports is not a challenge. The reason we play sports and where is the issue I hope to address. Salem Recreation Sports programs are offered to invite our local youth to be active, healthy, involved in activities with their peers and hopefully to teach some values and life skills. The goal has never been to build the next great High School athletics star, and certainly not the next professional athlete. If either of these result come from the programs then it is just another plus. We do strive to offer challenging programs where a young athlete will feel challenged and possible find a deep desire to work to improve their skills. In truth high school success may not be one of our focuses, but it is most certainly our desire. We want to help Salem Hills High School succeed and bring success to their programs and our community. The many different travel teams also set goals to help their participants learn valuable life skills. Many travel teams work to develop skills that will help their players find success in the next level of sports. That would be on High School teams. This is a great adventure that many of our local families have entered. At Salem Recreation our goal is not to hinder these pursuits. We support meaningful, structured and goal oriented recreation. While working to support clubs and travel teams, our number one goal is to focus on City offered programs and City facilities. We build, prepare and maintain the City athletic facilities for our programs first. We then find ways to allow non city programs to rent our facilities to allow their teams to play some games close to home. It is important to remember that City Parks are built and maintained with tax dollars, taxes of our Salem residents. When non city programs use the facilities for games a rental fee is charged for usage. These fees are charged to help cover the maintenance of the parks.

We often hear parents say that, their child does not play city rec. sports because it makes their child regress. When I hear these statements it makes me ill. City sports do not make anyone a lesser athlete. City programs offer a field of play for all skill levels. What effort is offered by each individual participant is what makes the experience worthwhile or not. We subscribe to the idea that the more reps and playing time an athlete puts in the better they become. Now to the goal of this article, Salem Recreation wants your child to play with us. We want them to play whether they play on a travel team or not. Why? We want our community youth to grow together. We want them to build relationships with each other. We want them to have experiences together. We want them to have a common ground with multiple members of our community. Not a same group that they spend the majority of their time with. We want every child in this community to feel they have self worth and friends here in Salem. We hope that as the youth grow and find other interest, they do not feel they are alone in life. Once they have stopped the pursuit of a certain sport. We believe that recreational programs introduce various groups of kids to one another. Maybe kids they would not associate with if they had not met on a team or in a game. Our Recreation programs are priced to not cause a family to sacrifice family needs. We keep them low for families who have tight budgets. We keep them low so that family who are paying hundreds to a club or team can still play in our league at a small cost. It is our goal that we draw as many Salem youth as possible. We invite all Salem youth to play in our leagues. We want you, need you and plan to offer you a fun memorable experience. If you haven t played with us in the past we invite you to give Salem a try. Matt Marziale - Salem Parks & Recreation
