Great opportunity to share your passion for helping others! Good news is the experience of serving the athletes will only add fuel to your tank!!!
SPUD League Day 1 was a fabulous start to a great season today. We saw some fun and intense tennis between the Pink and Orange teams as well as the Blue and Yellow teams! Thank you to all of our volunteers who served as partners and ball people today! We will see you all again on July 23rd!
Awesome pics!
‘Twas the night before SPUD league and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse.
The WATER bottles were filled and RACKETS by the door, in hopes that 9:00am soon would be there.
The athletes were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of tennis balls danced in their heads.
Who can create the next line?
We can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow morning at Wesleyan!
Then out on the court there arose such a clatter and athletes applied sunscreen with swagger!
Then out on the court there arose such a clatter the athletes were all arranged on a ladder...
Love this, Chelsea! Big things happening tomorrow!!!
Love this!!! Can’t wait to hear the rest.
Cool

Hey y’all. I tried to send an email this week about volunteering but it got kicked back. You may want to check and make sure your email is working properly (or maybe it was just me).
What an intense rally from Special Olympics Georgia a couple weeks ago! It was very obvious the athletes have been practicing hard and came to play!
This was very exciting to watch. Go athletes.
What a rally!!!
Have fun
Incredible!
