ike any great adventure, this one starts with a little uncertainty: What is this magazine? Where did it come from? What is it for? Why should I read it? Well, let me tell you: In the pages of this publication, you will find stories, information, and advice for the recreational sports community. This magazine is the place for the weekend warriors. The mild-mannered citizens who unleash their inner beasts on the gym at 5 a.m. Who get home from work and head straight back out to run six miles before dinner. This magazine is for the people who find friendship and fitness in softball, volleyball, pickleball, or soccer leagues. Who propel themselves on bicycles, in kayaks, or on skateboards. You know who you are. REC Midwest is the place to learn more about your sport, discover new diversions, and find a community of like-minded people who are on the move. As publisher and editor, I look forward to exploring our diverse world of recreational sports, and telling stories of the people who inhabit that world. Welcome to the first issue of REC Midwest . This will be fun. Let’s get going. LET’S GET GOING. L
