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 – 9:00 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 by the Town of Carlisle rather than by the Carlisle Public School.FNL themes vary from month to month. Monthly activities include volleyball, basketball, ping pong, arts and crafts, a movie and a DJ for dancing. Occasionally, we have special events such as an obstacle course challenge, basketball tournament and/or professional Photo Booth. The fee per FNL event is $15, this helps to defray the cost for our DJ, decorations, SWAG, equipment and pizza, snacks and drinks.

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 – 9:00 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 by the Town of Carlisle rather than by the Carlisle Public School.FNL themes vary from month to month. Monthly activities include volleyball, basketball, ping pong, arts and crafts, a movie and a DJ for dancing. Occasionally, we have special events such as an obstacle course challenge, basketball tournament and/or professional Photo Booth. The fee per FNL event is $15, this helps to defray the cost for our DJ, decorations, SWAG, equipment and pizza, snacks and drinks.

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.
