Everyone will get a wonderful workout at Mom and Son Sport Night, 6:30-8:15 p.m. March 10 at Sachs Recreation Center, 455 Lake Cook Road, Deerfield. Participants are encouraged to wear their favorite team jersey, “which could be a professional sports team or a local team,” said Ginny Wiemerslage, early childhood recreation supervisor. “We take a photo of them that we post on Facebook.”
Activities will include dodgeball, relays, basketball, soccer and more. Everyone will refuel by making their own sundaes. There will also be a sports trivia quiz and an estimating jar with a prize to the person who comes closest to guessing how many objects are in it. At the end, there will be a ceremony where every child gets a prize.
Wiemerslage noted, “We have a group of moms that really want to play with their child.”
The event is for ages 4-10. The cost is $15 per person for residents; $19 for nonresidents. Registration is required.
