practice hard. I do my best. . . S4EA Needs Your Help SPORTS for Exceptional Athletes is a volunteer-based community-wide program that needs your help:
Volunteers are needed as coaches for the Winter Season in baseball, basketball, bowling, golf, ice skating, judo, swimming, track, and winter sports. You do not need any prior experience in the sport or working with persons with developmental disabilities, just a desire to help. Head coaches run the practices, while assistant coaches help the athletes under the direction of the head coach in teaching the athletes various sports skills. Volunteers also act as scorekeepers and timers in team sports league play. Coaches spend 2-3 hours weekly for a 3 month period. Call S4EA Office at 858-565-7432 to get involved.
Happy Valentine’s Day to You & Your Sweetheart! |
