Fike Recreation Center to offer “Gymsitter” service during home football games

Football season is just around the corner.  Planning on making a family outing to the game, but don’t have tickets for the little ones?  No problem.  Kids can enjoy a day of fun, too, with Fike Recreation Center’s Gymsitter service.  
 
Children ages 3 to 10 can participate in the program, which will be available during home football games this fall.  The program will be offered for every home game that is set to kick-off before 7 p.m.  The fee is $50 per child in advance, and $60 per child after the registration deadline has passed.  
 
Children in the program will participate in obstacle courses, kickball, snacks, arts and crafts and other various fitness activities.  The children will be under the supervision of the Gymsitter staff, who are all CPR/AED and First Aid certified with experience working with children.  
 
“The entire family can come for the weekend.  Not only does Fike serve students, but also the Clemson community and members of our Clemson family who travel from out of town,” said Susan Pope, director of fitness programs and services for the Department of Campus Recreation.  “We want to give children a taste of the Clemson experience.”  
 
To register a child for the Gymsitters program, contact Fike Recreation Center at (864) 656-6559 or download the registration form. Forms and payment must be faxed or mailed and received no later than the Monday before the game to get the early registration fee.
