Spring Outdoor Fun! Grades 3-5 with Parsippany Girls On The Run

Sign up today for a twice weekly program at Veteran's Field. Non-athletes welcome. Fun, friendly group striving for progress not perfection.

It's March 2nd and it's snowing, but rest assured that spring is on the way.

Registration is open for Parsippany's Girls on the Run, which hosts twice weekly meetups for girls in grades 3-5. The girls meet Tuesdays and Thursdays at Veteran's Field off route 46 east from 5:30pm to 6:45pm.

The group is focused on building confidence in young girls - each meeting begins with a fun talk such as finding a positive outlet for stress. The talks are quick, but involve engagement exercises that always have the girls laughing and joining in.

Afterwards they practice running and this is a space for girls of all shapes, sizes and athletic abilities. Each girl's progress is celebrated - they cheer for one another throughout the season and the camaraderie that is established is amazing. There is no room for cliques or drama, as the coaches work towards creating a cohesive, collegial group.

If you have questions about Girls on the Run post them on the article or tag me on the Facebook post, and I'll answer or get an answer for you!
