The Worthdale Community Center has announced a series of upcoming programs aimed at engaging both older adults and youth in the Raleigh area.
For those aged 55 and older, the center will host Open Play and Card Games every Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Participants can play classic card games such as Bridge, Poker, and Spades. The sessions are open to all skill levels, with extra decks provided and a welcoming environment for newcomers.
Active adults in the same age group are also invited to join free line dance classes on Mondays from 11 a.m. to noon. These sessions feature easy-to-follow instruction, upbeat music, and dances suited for both beginners and experienced dancers.
For younger participants, Basketball Fundamentals 101 will be offered on Fridays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The class is designed for children ages 6 to 15 who want to learn or improve their basketball skills. The co-ed program covers court vision, movement without the ball, offensive and defensive techniques at game speed, and more. Registration is required through RecLink, with fees set at $26 for residents and $41 for non-residents.
These programs reflect ongoing efforts by local community centers in Raleigh to provide recreational opportunities for various age groups across the city (https://raleighnc.gov/parks).
