(WASHINGTON, DC) – Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) are reminding residents that registration for DPR’s 2024 spring programming will begin on Tuesday, March 12, for aquatics programs and Wednesday, March 13, for all other programs. Registration opens at noon on both days.

DPR is offering new and continuing programs, including:

• Junior Lifeguard Academy for young people ages 12-19 who are interested in swimming and lifeguarding but need to sharpen their skills.
• MLS Go is a new soccer league based in Wards 7 and 8 in collaboration with Major League Soccer (MLS).
• Music and Dance programs, including ballet and hip hop.
• Tennis, Women's Tennis, and Pickleball.
• Spring Break Camps which take place during DCPS Spring Break.
• Senior-centered programs, including cardio, aquatics, slow-pitch softball, and a walking club.

Registration for spring programming is available on a first-come, first-served basis, and DPR will utilize a virtual “waiting room” on both program registration days in order to manage the high demand for programs.

DPR spring program registration opens:

• Noon on Tuesday, March 12, for aquatics programs ONLY.
• Noon on Wednesday, March 13, for all other spring programs.
