LOCUST — The City of Locust Parks and Recreation Department has advertised its selection of available summer sports programs for both children and adults in the community.

Signups for tennis, pickleball, volleyball and basketball are available through Locust’s online registration links.

Information about the tennis and pickleball programs at Locust City Park for juniors and adults — beginner through advanced — can be accessed at tennisbloc.com.

Tennis runs from June 17 to Aug. 5, while pickleball runs from June 14 to July 26.

“Ready to take your game to the next level? There is still time to get registered for summer pickleball and tennis through TennisBloc,” Locust Parks and Rec said in an advertisement on Tuesday. “Pickleball begins this Saturday and tennis begins on June 17. Our programs bring the perfect balance of fun and technique development with an emphasis on building a strong and positive community right here in the heart of Locust, NC.”

Locust’s summer volleyball (grades 5-8) and basketball camps (grades 3-8) will both be played inside the Locust Elementary School gymnasium; enrollment is available at locustnc.recdesk.com.

The volleyball camp will take place from July 7-11. As of June 11, the camp has six remaining spots out of 16 openings.

“Locust Parks and Rec is partnering with Tara Molles, a volleyball coach who has led teams in our recreation league for the past three seasons, to host a summer volleyball camp,” Locust Parks and Rec stated. “The camp will focus on fundamentals, skill development, and game play. It is a great opportunity for players to prepare for the upcoming volleyball season and build confidence in their skills.”

The basketball camp is from July 28-30. As of June 11, the camp has 20 remaining spots out of 60 openings.

“Locust Parks and Rec is partnering with Perfect 10 Skills Academy to host a basketball camp this summer,” Locust Parks and Rec said. “Rising 3rd-8th graders (boys and girls) will be able to participate in the camp. The camp will consist of skill instruction, competitions, and games.”
