Volunteers needed - VAIL

 My name is Tim Davis and I run the Harrisonburg adult wheelchair basketball team, the VAIL Harrisonburg Cardinals. We have a tournament coming up on November 23^rd and 24^th and will have three other Virginia teams coming into Harrisonburg. We’re very excited to showcase the incredible skills of our players and players from around the state but have had some trouble with securing volunteers to help us out with running the scoreboard, shot clock, and score book. The tournament is happening the weekend leading into Thanksgiving break, which makes it tough for students to still be in the area and available to volunteer. 

 

I’m reaching out to see if you would be willing to open the opportunity up to some of your Kinesiology students! It would be a great opportunity not only for them to help out a local nonprofit organization, but also great experience for the future for working with individuals with spinal cord injuries, especially those interested in adaptive recreation opportunities! We have two scorekeepers already committed, so we only need 3-4 more people in order to have enough numbers for the weekend. I’m attaching a schedule of the games for both days to this email in case they would like to know times in advance, but please let me know if there’s any more information that you need, or if you have any questions at all! Thank you so much, and I look forward to hearing back from you!

Education opportunity at UREC

 My name is Jessie Purcell, and I am the Assistant Director for Fitness and Nutrition at UREC. I am reaching out to share some exciting news regarding a new initiative we are implementing within our student employee structure.

We are in the process of reorganizing our student roles and are thrilled to introduce the new position of Fitness Coach. This role is designed similarly to that of a group exercise instructor and aims to enhance our fitness programs while providing valuable experience for our students.

The Fitness Coach position will include an 8-week preparation course that covers the foundations of strength and conditioning, with a focus on instructing and programming compound movements. Students will receive both lectures and practical training, equipping them with the skills necessary to lead strength-based classes in our Group Training Room at UREC. At the end of the course, participants will have the opportunity to audition to become an official UREC Fitness Coach. This prep course is free of charge but does require some time commitment from the potential fitness coach. Please see our registration link HERE for a more detailed account of our prep course.

We believe this new position will not only enrich our fitness offerings but also provide our students with practical experience and knowledge that aligns with their academic pursuits in kinesiology, preparing them for roles as such as a personal trainer, strength and conditioning coach and small group training instructor. 

We would love to be able to share this opportunity with your students and have them apply to our prep course which will officially kick off in January. Would you be able to direct me to the right person to help with sharing this information with your students?
