A note from team parent, Will Indest

By

To further Laurie’s spotlight of the Officials Clinic on May 6th, I thought I would provide some context.   I began officiating last Fall as a way to contribute to the my kids’ activities and the sport, get off of those narrow bleachers, and to enjoy watching all of the events up close.  I officiated at over 40 sessions last year, including the Junior Olympics in Bowling Green, and it was tiring (running up and down the side of the pool without falling in can be a trick), trying (sometimes coaches and parents can be, um, passionate), but also mentally  challenging (in a good way), fashionable (who doesn’t like white over blue?)  and very rewarding.  I have found my new hobby and I encourage you to consider joining the Buckeye Officiating Team of Bill Hammond and me.   You’re going to the meets anyway, right?  If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call at 288-7003.  The Officials Clinic is on May 6th from 1-4 PM at the Northwest Library, 2280 Hard Road, Columbus 43235.

A donation to the booster club for your shirt is optional. The kids are now receiving their team t-shirts that were made exclusively for kids and coaches.

Coach of the Year

By
Dear Coach, Hope this email finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are writing today on behalf of the upcoming feature film COACH OF THE YEAR: an independent, kid-friendly sports comedy feature film based on the inspiring true story of a rag tag swim team that tries to win a state championship…without a pool to practice in. Director Dave Stott, who has coached swimming for twenty years, hopes that with this film, we will entertain and inspire kids all over the country to learn to swim. Another goal of this film is to raise awareness about drowning as the leading cause of accidental deaths and to help kids all over the country learn to swim safely. The underdog story has been told before, but not for our sport. This is a movie for swimmers (and would-be swimmers), made by people who know the sport intimately and love it passionately, and we’d love for you to be involved. We wanted to ask you and your team to help spread the word about COACH OF THE YEAR, and get you & you...
