Since we have Youth and Adult Practices going on at the same time a different places this year, we are trying to get our coaches organized prior to the season starting. In order to do that, we need to know who all is interested in coaching basketball this year. If you would like to coach, please email joshparrillegf@gmail.com and let Josh know that you would like to coach. Before the season starts, he hopes to get everyone interested assigned to a gym so that they can work with the same athletes throughout the year.
All Volunteers, Athletes, Families and Staff, please join us for the 2011 Special Olympics Grand Forks year end banquet. We will be celebrating the year together at Holy Family Church in Grand Forks from 5:30 to about 8:00.
