Youth Programs
Buddy Kickball
Get ready to join the team as we head to the gym for a game
of kickball! We will pair up with our buddies as we challenge
our friends to an exciting game. Each week, we will warm
up with our team, practice and play a game. Note: Buddy
Kickball is not a competitive program. Participants should come
dressed in athletic clothing and gym shoes.
Buddies: We need you!
We are looking for volunteers ages 10 - 17 ready to share in the fun and
excitement that is Buddy Kickball. As a buddy, you will be paired with an
athlete with special needs as he or she learns to play kickball. Help us create
a program where everyone can have fun, and experience kickball in an
exciting and successful atmosphere. While there is no fee for buddies, you
must register to be a buddy.
Goals: Improve understanding and basic skills of kickball. Increase social
interaction. Improve teamwork. Buddies will meet Tuesday, September 11 for orientation. Buddies
will learn about the participants and receive program details.
