Harrison Football Teams Up with Backyard Sports Cares for a Boundless Adventure

This is the second year in a row that our varsity football players teamed up with Backyard Sports Cares.  We had approximately 26 of our 30 Varsity players in attendance and they paired up with a special needs athlete and climbed/traveled with them throughout the Boundless Adventure Course.  Our players volunteered approximately 3 hours (some stayed a little longer as they were stuck behind some people).

My personal perspective of the event (which I believe was a huge success), as the head coach, involving the team in any community service events is an opportunity to instill important life lessons that extend beyond sports. It’s a chance to teach athletes that success isn’t only measured by victories but by how they contribute to the well-being of others.  This was an opportunity to continue to build team unity and culture as we worked with special needs athletes.
