You are all invited to attend a presentation by Bob Bigelow, author of Just Let the Kids Play. This well known book goes well beyond typical calls for better coaching, training, and improved sportsmanship. In his book, Bob offers practical ways for creating new approaches to play that better serve the physical and emotional needs of our children.
His presentation on March 24th, 7pm, at LS will be titled - How to Improve Yough Sports. LS Lacrosse and several other Sudbury youth sports organizations are sponsoring this very informative talk.
Bob is one of the foremost youth sports speakers in the country. He advocates fully meeting the needs of children as the top priority in youth sports programs, and provides new approaches for positive change in youth sports. Bob is a former NBA first round draft choice and played four years for the Kansas City Kings, Boston Celtics, and San Diego Clippers. He played collegiately at the University of Pennsylvania for Hall of Fame Coach Chuck Daly. He has devoted several thousand hours researching and lecturing about organized youth sports and its effects on children - and adults. Since 1993, he has conducted over 2500 talks and clinics worldwide. Bob has also been selected as one of the “100 Most Influential Sports Educators” by the Institute for International Sport at the Univ. of Rhode Island.
