SPORTS for Exceptional Athletes (S4EA) is a sports program serving athletes with developmental disabilities ages 5 through adult in San Diego County. In team sports, teams may be made up of athletes with developmental disabilities, families, friends, and others in the community who want to play on inclusive teams. 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 Sports Season in basketball, bowling, cross country skiing, golf, ice skating, snowshoeing, swimming, table tennis, track & field, and walking. 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 the team sports. Coaches spend 2-3 hours weekly for a 3 month period. Call S4EA Office at 858-565-7432 to get involved.
Wishing
you a very Happy New Year! |
