THANK YOU to everyone who helps support our youth sporting leagues !
If you dont know just HOW MUCH time, effort, and energy goes into running a league, reach out and offer.
Coach, run concession, ref, offer to bring water to practice or games!
Our coaches do sooo much more than people realize and without them our kids wouldn't have the leagues they have ❤️
So while your shopping for some cute sport gear from local small businesses make sure your also offering to help when you can on whatever teams your kids are on!
I promise, offering to bring in a case of water once a week is a life saver !
The little bottles of water are perfect for young kids! Ask your coach what they need help with! Help run concessions!
Without our concessions sign up fees would need to be higher 🫠🙃😅
Do you know who doesn't get enough credit in youth sports?
The leaders behind the organizations.
The presidents and VPs.
The treasurers and coordinators.
The board members
The volunteers.
They certainly take a lot of heat, don't they?
But do they get the accolades they deserve, too?
Because the truth is...
There is no season without these invididuals who step up.
There are no funds raised for equipment and rent and fees.
There are no schedules to download.
There are no refs or umps scheduled to show up.
There is no gym/field/ice time secured.
There is no food at the concession stand.
There are no uniforms to wear.
There is no game location to check in the app.
There is no communication to keep parents in the loop.
There is NONE of that..... if we don't have the support of these people who step up and volunteer their time to make it happen.
In youth sports you hear a lot of the complaints about how things could be done better.
Heck I'm sure many of these leaders will be the first to admit there's always room to grow.
But for our kids to be able to play the sports they love, we need people behind the scenes willing to volunteer their time to make it happen.
Is it always perfect?
No.
But do we always need people to step up and try?
Yes.
So if there's someone behind the scenes who helps make your athlete's season possible...
Don't forget to thank them.
