FRIDAY NIGHT LIVEDates: October 4, November 1, December 6, February 7, March 7, April 4, May 2, and June 6Time: 7:00 – 9:30 pm (unless otherwise posted)Eligible Participants: Must be residents of Carlisle who are in grades 5 – 8 whether at Carlisle Public School, Private School, or Home Schooled.Coordinator: Carlisle Youth CommissionCARLISLE YOUTH COMMISSION – FRIDAY NIGHT LIVEThe Carlisle Youth Commission (CYC) is a town committee made up of five (5) to eight (8) Carlisle parents/guardians. The primary goal of the CYC is to provide safe, all-inclusive, and fun monthly FNL events for Carlisle middle school-aged residents (grades 5-8) from public and private schools, as well as those who are home-schooled, to socialize with their peers. These monthly events have become known as Friday Night Live (FNL). FNL is typically held on the first Friday of the month in the Corey Gym and Exercise Room at the Carlisle Public School from 7:00 – 9:30 p.m., unless pre-empted by a scheduling conflict or occurring on a snow day. FNL is run by members of the CYC with help from parent chaperones. Although FNL is held at the Carlisle Public School, FNL is sponsored and partially funded by the Town of Carlisle rather than by the Carlisle Public School. FNL events vary from month to month with music for dancing, basketball, ping pong, checkers/chess, arts and crafts, and occasional contests. Sometimes a movie is shown, other times we have a DJ for dancing. Occasionally, we have themed events such as an obstacle course challenge, dodgeball tournament and/or karaoke competition. In an effort to streamline the registration process, the Carlisle Youth Commission has changed the registration and payment method for Friday Night Live (FNL) events. Even if you have already registered your child for 2024-25 FNL events you will need to re-register your child again. The fee per FNL event is $15, this helps to defray the cost for our DJ, decorations, SWAG, custodians, equipment and pizza, snacks and drinks. Once registered for an event, your child will receive tickets at the door, which they can use as collateral for pizza, snacks, seltzer and/or photos at the photo booth. In order to attend any FNL event, your eligible child MUST BE REGISTERED IN ADVANCE. WE WILL NOT PERMIT ANY CHILD THAT IS NOT FULLY REGISTERED IN ADVANCE TO ATTEND AN FNL EVENT. IF YOUR CHILD IS NOT FULLY REGISTERED, THEY WILL BE TURNED AWAY AT THE DOOR AND WILL BE REQUIRED TO CALL YOU TO PICK THEM BACK UP. WE REALLY WOULD LIKE TO PREVENT THIS FROM EVER HAPPENING – SO PLEASE REGISTER YOUR CHILD IN ADVANCE. THERE WILL BE NO REGISTRATION AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR. All parents of middle school-aged children who participate in FNL are obligated to chaperone at least one (1) FNL during the school year. Dates with reminders about FNL are announced in the Carlisle Mosquito, The Buzz, and in Carlisle Middle School Announcements. For detailed information about Friday Night Live, click here (PDF).

This allows us to share with like-minded people and create a sense of community that is much needed. Throughout this workshop we’ll work on canvas using a multi medium approach to create your masterpiece.

Get on the MAP: Middle School Activities Program Dates: Wednesdays, October 2-May 28Time: After school – 3:00pmWho: Middle School students grades 5-8 Fee: FreeLocation: Brick Building, 97 School StreetCoordinator: Holly Mansfield, Recreation DirectorJoin us for a supervised opportunity for middle school students to be a part of a planning committee to get creative and take the initiative to plan classes and events for all Middle School students. It has long been identified that activities for our middle school children are a need in local communities. What better way to find out what our middle schoolers would like to participate in than to include our students in the brainstorming, planning, implementation and evaluation of a class or event. This opportunity will meet a well-known town need for middle school children and put Carlisle Recreation on the MAP for middle school programs. This will ultimately lead to a higher participation in recreation programs by middle school children as well. Space is limited to 10 students (to start). Sign up today and Get on the MAP!

Beginner to advanced players are welcome (16 and up, our oldest is 75) Peers will be available to support you as you learn the basics and transition from the backyard to maybe tournament level play. Advanced players play with peers, but also are asked to team up with others to share ideas and skills. We share and rotate court time. We play in a supportive, positive environment. You will need to bring enthusiasm, a racket (we have them for evaluation, sale and a few to use until you get one) a change of court shoes (no outside shoes in the gym) and water. We provide shuttles, but you may use your own. This is a recreational and developmental program, and we share court time. Preregistration through the Carlisle Recreation is required. No play if schools are closed. You may register for either one or both nights for the season. We will limit the numbers of participants. You will check in each night. Open to those from surrounding towns.
