I’m Dom Pizzuto, though many of our Special Olympics athletes and their families probably know me better as Coach Dom. I just completed my fourth year with LCSRA this past September. I was even lucky enough to be named LCSRA employee of the year for 2014! I work a lot with our adult programs, including the Community Cruisers day program, Special Olympics basketball, floor hockey, and softball. I love working with our participants in a recreational setting, because while other types of supports are important, I believe everyone deserves to get out and find some enjoyment. I’m also a firm believer in setting individual expectations and providing the positive support needed to teach each participant. I do this because it enhances their sense of accomplishment and self-worth in a very meaningful way. I hope to see you out supporting our teams at a Special Olympics game or event soon. Go Lions! W ho W e A r e Lily Cache Special Recreation Association (LCSRA) represents the partnership between Bolingbrook and Plainfield Park Districts in their mission to serve the special needs population. Our goal is to provide recreational programs which build self-esteem and promote a lifetime of growth. LCSRA strives to go beyond the normal range of services and programs offered by schools or other agencies.

Refrain from using foul language, discussing inappropriate topics or other offensive behavior. Refrain from threatening or causing bodily harm or offensive physical contact to self, other participants, staff or public. Show respect to equipment, supplies, and facilities.

If inappropriate behaviors occur, a prompt resolution will be sought specific to each individual.

Discipline Procedure Under ordinary and usual circumstances, if a participant exhibits inappropriate actions, the following general guidelines will be followed: 1. Warning 2. Time out or removal from the situation 3. Report to supervisor 4. Discussion with parent and implementation of a behavior plan Ordinarily, if a participant’s behavior does not improve depending on the severity of the act, the participant will be dismissed from the program.
