Are you an athlete? Do you like to play basketball or perhaps you like coaching?
During the school year, Ryves Youth Center hosts several basketball leagues for middle
school (Tuesdays) and high school (Thursdays) age children. Volunteers are needed to coach, referee,
and run the scoreboard. We offer co-ed teams with varying skill levelsfor the children. Coaches provide
a great opportunity for children to get the guidance and support needed. We encourage positive
reinforcement with these children. Your attention and interest in them can make a big difference in
their lives. In some situations, you might be a role model to them and when you share a kind word or a
compliment it can motivate them to reach beyond their own perceived limitations.
