A SPORTS PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are excited to announce the launch of a sports program for children with special needs. It is open to players age 6-12. We will start with “Intro to Sports." Every 1-2 weeks a new sport will be taught in the fall and resuming again in the spring. The Winchendon School and Winchendon, Gardner and Narragansett school districts will provide buddies for children. The younger children will all be paired with a buddy. The older kids will play against coaches, buddies and/or each other. Games will be modified in time and rules to ensure that each child gets to touch the ball, score goals, and play different positions. There will be no penalties. Our games will be played on Sundays from 11am-12pm. The detailed schedule is listed below. All games will be at The Winchendon School Gym or fields. Our final day for the Fall season will be Sunday, December 16th. We will have awards, food and fun. Shirts and all equipment will be provided. Players should bring their own sneakers, or indicate on the registration form if they would like the program to help provide them and needed sizes so we may ask for donations. There is no cost for the program. Only if possible for families we are asking for a donation of $20 per player to help cover the cost for shirts, equipment and trophies. This is not mandatory for children to play. No one will ever be turned away due to financial issues. If you are interested or have any questions please email the program directors: Conner Wilkie Email:[email protected] Danny Cavanagh Email: [email protected] Thank you. We look forward to a wonderful season!
