Volunteers needed!
Posted: Tue Oct 06, 2009 11:20 am
Hey everybody,
I know that this is a CYCLING forum
but I've heard from a few of you already that you are into SKIING too. I'm starting to volunteer as the new Downhill Skiing head coach for Special Olympics next week. Special Olympics
trains athletes with intellectual disabilities and we've got a local chapter here in Victoria. I've got a team of 10 athletes, but I'm short of volunteers to help out as assistant coaches. Most of the training we'll do will be dryland training, i.e. every Wednesday, 7-8pm in a school in Esquimalt. Depending on funding we'll go to Mt
Washington 2-4 times over the winter for one day trips at the weekend.
So, I'm looking for people who are able to ski and have their own skiing equipment and who'd be happy to spend an hour a week with the athletes. Those are the only requirements. Expenses for the day trips will be covered by SO.
If you'd like to find out more about SO, then have a look here: http://www.victoriaspecialolympics.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false or just contact me.
Many thanks,
Rita
