I have been coaching for the Park District Basketball program since my oldest son was in third grade (Fall 2003). Also, for the third consecutive year, I was lucky enough to coach my younger son’s team concurrently with my older son’s Why did you decide to volunteer coach? My older son Kevin expressed an interest in playing basketball in the Park District program and I thought I might be able to impart some of the basic basketball knowledge I have from having played high school basketball. I also am a huge fan of the Woodridge Park District. What do you like about coaching youth players? One of the main things I have enjoyed about coaching youth aged 3rd to 8th grade has been the “coachability” of the kids in this age group. Along with that is also the fact that each year presents its own unique challenge in working with all of my players to help him/her improve individually and just as importantly learn to work with and respect their teammates. What has been your favorite /best experience? My favorite experience was paying off the “bet”. The “bet” is if every member of the team scores at least one point during a game then I will take them out for a pizza party. The bet was won once three years ago and making the “bet” each year has served to enforce the “team first” mentality that I and most parents desire for our players. What is the most challenging aspect of being a volunteer coach? The most challenging aspect of being a volunteer coach would be the fine balance of knowing that many of the participants entering the program do so with the expectation of winning games and I need to balance their expectations with my personal goals of developing all of the players and team during the 4 month season. I begin each year with a team meeting and I tell the parents and players that if we lose every game by a single point that we will consider it a successful season since we were competitive while focusing on each player’s development and firmly instilling the concept of “team before me”. fall 2009 37 sports Youth & Teens Beginning Fencing Want to wield a sword?

The Park District is now sponsoring a program specifically targeting arson prevention through the new Arson Tipster Award Program. The Arson Tipster Program rewards residents for providing information that leads to the arrest of the arson perpetrator or conspirator. All communication between the Woodridge Park District and the Arson Tipster is kept strictly confidential. The Woodridge Park District will not release or disclose any information furnished by the Arson Tipster without the Tipster’s explicit consent and approval. Arson Tipsters may be eligible for a cash reward. To provide a tip or get more information about the Arson Tipster Program, contact the Woodridge Park District at (630) 353-3300. Thank you for helping keep our parks safe and clean. Waterfowl Concerns Regular feeding of waterfowl can cause dependency on people for food, bird and people conflicts, and the spread of disease. Please refrain from feeding the birds at Lake Carleton and Lake Harriet along with other lakes in the area. The waterfowl have become used to handouts and no longer migrate south in the winter. The once wild birds have become tame and have lost their fear of cars and people, which can lead to traffic problems and possible injury. With the growing populations of waterfowl in small concentrated areas, the competition for food is high. The less nutritious handouts and harsh weather increase their susceptibility to life threatening diseases. We ask that you please do not feed the waterfowl. Thank you for your support. For more information, please contact the Woodridge Park District at (630) 353-3300. 44 www.woodridgeparks.org community Volunteer Volunteer for the Woodridge Park District Haunted Forest Walk Scenes Needed Interested in a fun fundfraiser for your non-profit organization?

No refunds will be given for a trip unless there is a replacement or the trip is cancelled. The Park District does reserve the right to cancel a program if the enrollment is not sufficient to justify sponsorship of the activity.
