UDS Challenger Football League is looking for volunteers.  We need buddies to help our kids who have developmental disabilities play football.  For example; buddies help push players using wheelchairs around the "field" or catch and hand off the ball to other players so they can run in a touchdown.

Our buddies not only support our players on the field, but they also contribute in broader ways.  Social interaction among players and buddies often gives players a completely new outlet for communication and exchange.  Over the years, long-lasting friendships have been forged through Challenger Football.  We've found that the players aren't the only ones who benefit.  (Buddies are not required to attend all games.  Come as often as you can, even if it's just one game.  We'll take all the help we can get!)

If you would like to be a Challenger buddy or know someone who might be interested, please contact Joelene Campbell at joelenec@udservices.org.

NOTE: In most instances, this program can be used toward required community services projects in schools.
