right up my alley

today was sports hero day. i volunteered to be a group leader...aka i was assigned to lead 8 sixth graders from brockbank elementary through 6 different rotations. there were 1200+kids there...supposedly. but fortunately, i was only in charge of 8. :) this reminded me of the good ol' days of BRATS.

this is jana (from my ward). she was another volunteer.


first rotation: women's bball.
they never showed. so here we are,
entertaining ourselves with games.



second rotation: baseball.
they talked to the kids about being healthy and
made them throw tennis balls at the curtain.



third rotation: womens volleyball.
i wish we could've gone to mens volleyball. but i had no say.
they talked about teamwork and then played jungle ball in smaller groups.



fourth rotation: football.
i didnt know/recognize anybody. and they didnt introduce
themselves. but the kids got to tackle dummies and be receivers.



fifth rotation: golf.
they basically showed off their stuff and then
let some of the kids try.



sixth rotation: women's soccer.
they talked about nutrition and let the kids
shoot goals and dribble in-n-out of cones.



power rally.
at the end of the day the kids were worn out
and super hungry.


but i hope they had fun.
i know i did! :)
