St. Aloysius Parish

This is a great opportunity to help out at the STAR weekly recreational exercise and athletics program for young people with developmental disabilities.

In Sports Buddies, program participants play recreational games while working together with volunteer “Sports Buddies” who encourage them and help them to build skills. They work with the students on skills like teamwork, general exercises, stretching, running, calisthenics, group play, skill development such as shooting, dribbling, arm and leg movements, and pick-up basketball games.

Students MUST be accompanied by a parent the entire time.

You may claim this as OTHER service. Participants must bring a positive attitude, smiles and words of encouragement while they interact and play sports with these special buddies. Wear comfortable athletic clothing and sneakers.
