The 2014 Sports Festival<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cThe goal of the sports Festival is to showcase the different sports that the Clarksville community have to offer,\u201d said Tina Boysha, Athletic Superintendent at Clarksville Department Parks and Recreation.<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cWe have parkour out here, it is considered one of the extreme sports but a lot of people in Clarksville don’t know that it’s available here. Rugby, Lacrosse, may not be your typical sports; but they are up-and-coming and Clarksville. We have badminton and pickle ball leagues, a lot of people may not know that the Clarksville Department of Parks and Recreation has pickle ball lines painted on our tennis courts to accommodate the legs out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

She concluded, \u201cWe hope that people will come away with a better understanding of what Clarksville has to offer, and maybe try out a new sport. We hope that after they learn all of the activities available out there that they get themselves and their kids involved and live a more active lifestyle.\u201d<\/p>\n

The festival featured 30 vendors providing information on a variety of sports, athletic and outdoor activities for the entire family. Attendees could rotate through over 20 sports demonstrations of their choosing to get hands on experience in learning a new sport like Parkour, Rugby, Crossfit, Archery, Scuba, Pickleball, Lacrosse, MMA and many more!<\/p>\n

The event was sponsored by Academy Sports + Outdoors, The Leaf-Chronicle, and Clarksville Family Magazine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
