Open Door Sports provides adapted sports programs to kids and young adults with special needs and is looking for middle or high school aged peer buddies to volunteer their time to work with a player and help them find success and joy learning the game of flag football. The program is run by a head coach and two assistant coaches and the role of the peer buddy is to be a friend to the players and help them to get the most out of their time playing. The program at Chevy Chase Elementary in Chevy Chase runs from 1:30 - 2:30pm every Saturday afternoons beginning April 11th and ending on May 30th. No practice on May 23rd.
We prefer for peer buddies to commit to the entire season but are open to having them come for alternative schedules, as long as they clearly communicate with the coach.
Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian and must be completed outside of school hours. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns.
