• Shorties take their mark

MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP - Get the attention of all the sports-loving kids in sight, because it is time for Sporties for Shorties to resume for the year.

The program is meant to teach kids coordination, motor skills, and interest in sports by introducing them to football, soccer, t-ball, and track and field.

Parents and kids have the choice between morning and evening classes, starting either at 10:00am or 5:30pm. Classes are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Times and days are subject to change starting in September.

Sessions are held at the Michigan Athletic Club and cost $42 each.
