Sports for everyone

“There are lots of opportunities to give today. Having grown up in the Texas panhandle, Kids Inc. was an important part of my young life and provided me with a tremendous foundation for growth. Kids, Inc. helps kids learn social skills, teaches them how to win and lose, and ultimately how to compete. Boys and Girls build confidence and Kids, Inc. gives them an outlet to stay physically fit. We can think of no better place to give back than to an organization that can make this difference for kids all across the panhandle.”

My favorite part about coaching and officiating for Kids, Inc. is watching these kids have the opportunity to shine in front of their family and teammates. Like I said, it puts a smile on my face when they win, and though it’s tough to lose (believe me, we’ve lost our share of games), they are growing and learning during their time as a player at Kids, Inc. no matter what sport they are involved in.
It has been a joy and privilege to volunteer and officiate for Kids, Inc. over the past 5 years. I look forward to more opportunities to serve and work with this great organization.

“I get to see kids play sports year after year, from kindergarten through middle school, and then witness some of them go on to play sports in high school and even achieve the goal of playing at the college level. Kids, Inc. focuses not only on developing children’s athletic skills but also their character through sports experiences.”
