In the summer of 1999,
Newtown Recreation, a non-profit, family-oriented youth athletic association
of North Fulton County, was formed with the purpose of providing quality youth
athletic programs for children in the Alpharetta / Roswell / John's Creek area.
Our athletic programs are held at Johns Creek's
Newtown Park
on Old Alabama Road, and on fields at select local Fulton County schools.
OUR MISSION
Newtown Recreation is dedicated to increasing the quality of life in our
community by providing positive sports experiences for all coaches, parents and
children. We believe that each child, regardless of athletic ability, should
have an opportunity to grow athletically and socially through participation in
athletic programs that are fun and safe.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe that kids participate in sports because they want to have fun,
make new friends and most importantly, because they want to play! We promote
positive coaching methods that offer praise and encouragement to all players.
Our programs encourage fun, team play, sportsmanship, individual development and
parental participation. We believe that playing the game is the most important
reason for the contest and not who wins or loses.
OUR ORGANIZATION
We are a non-profit, self-supported, youth athletic association of the City
of Johns Creek. The day to day operations of Newtown Recreation are managed by 3
full time employees. An all- volunteer board of directors provides oversight and
direction.
