Leona King is organizing the Event at Frontier Park on Thursday, May 2, 2024, and needs volunteers. Past helpers have unanimously said this experience was a very rewarding one.
A message from Leona;
First, I would like to thank all the volunteers for the Unified Special Olympics. The students hold a special place in my heart, and I’m sure when this event is over, you will feel the same as I do.
The event will be held Thursday, May 2, from 9-12. Lunch will be provided for all.
Please arrive by 8:45 am so we can be ready when they arrive. Three or Four schools will be participating and we will use all 12 courts. We should have 1 or 2 volunteers on each court with peers playing along with them. There are different skill levels of participants.
Schedule Thursday, May 2, 2024 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon
8:45 a.m. Volunteers should arrive to get ready for the participants
9:00 – 10:00 skills each court, different stations from holding a paddle to keeping score and everything in between.
10:00-11:30 tournament play, teams will be divided according to skills for the tournament play. Volunteers will assess during skill lessons to determine which court each team will be assigned.
Games will play to 7 points. Teams will rotate and play on the assigned court and play 2 games.
Please remember the students have a range of disabilities and have patience with me too. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me by phone, text, or email.
Thanks, Love to you all
