ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION - PARENT VOLUNTEERS

A variety of youth sport activities are offered through the I.H.M.-St. Casimir Athletic Association. These activities are for children who attend I.H.M.-St. Casimir School or who attend religious education class at either Parish. Any parent whose child participates in our sports program is automatically a member of the Athletic Association.

Parents whose children participate in sports at I.H.M. or St. Casimir have a number of ways in which they can help. In order to make any sports program work, volunteer coaches and assistants are always needed. Experience, though helpful, is not always needed. Those with little or no experience can be an assistant and learn the sport as their child is learning. Parents who do not have the time to be a coach can volunteer to be a team representative. Representatives can help make phone calls, assist in fundraisers or anything else that would help make the coaches= job easier. Parents are also needed at St. Casimir to help with the concession stand during basketball season.

Each sport should have a Coordinator. A coordinator is a person who is willing to see that rosters are filled out and turned in, make sure that equipment is in order and returned, and oversee the sport to make sure that it runs as smoothly as possible.

Another important role that parent volunteers can fill is to become active members of the Association. Call the contact people and get involved. The more people who attend the meetings, the more input we receive as to how our sports programs should be run.
 

The following activities are available for the various age groups. I.H.M. runs the outdoor sports while St. Casimir runs the indoor sports. See you at sign-up. Call any of the people listed below if you have any questions. Watch the school and church bulletins for specific sign up dates.
