⚠️ VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! ⚠️

Youth Cycling has a 1:1 volunteer-to-athlete ratio, and we need at least FIVE more volunteers to make the program a success. Can you help?

The program takes place on Saturdays, April 11 - May 30, 12:15-2:30 PM, on the Government Center Trail System, 9501 Lucy Corr Circle in Chesterfield.

Volunteer duties include helping unload/reload and set up bikes, riding along with athletes, and ensuring safety at crossings. Not only will you enjoy the beautiful trail, but you'll also make a huge impact on the youth athletes.

BOCCIA: WHAT IS IT?

Boccia is a strategic game of precision and control! Each side starts with six balls, intending to get their balls closer to the white jack ball than their opponent. Balls can be thrown, rolled, or maneuvered with the assistance of a ramp. Boccia is one of Sportable's most inclusive sports. It's fun for both beginners and experts! Want to give it a try? Check out our upcoming Boccia Clinic!

WHEN: Wednesday, April 29 | 5:30-7:00 PM
WHERE: Manchester Middle School - 7401 Hull Street Rd, Richmond, Virginia 23235
WHO: Open to anyone who is 5 years or older and has a physical disability or visual impairment and can follow age-appropriate instruction. Sportable Membership NOT required!

Whatever goals you want to accomplish, big or small, we help make them a reality.

Henry, wearing the orange shirt, competed in his first road race this past weekend at the Ashland Railroad Run. Not only that, but he finished the 5k in 24:55!

With weekly practices, expert coaching (we 🧡 Coach Karl!), and training alongside other Sportable athletes like Sue (41:18 finish!) and Stephanie (26:55 finish!), Henry built the confidence, strength, and endurance to cross that finish line with pride.

Next race to conquer: Ukrop's Monument Avenue 10K with Sports Backers!
