Volunteering
-
Because I enjoy playing field hockey so much, I volunteered to help at my towns’ youth field hockey practices. I teach elementary schoolers the rules of the sport but I also show them how much fun hockey can be. It is fun to watch them learn new skills and gain more confidence after every practice.
