Lastly, Every Body Athletics understands that we all benefit when everybody is included in our society and communities. Your role as a volunteer (“teammate”) is very important, as you will help ensure that these tenets are being realized while also providing our athletes with a safe, positive, and inclusive environment to gain and maintain the physical, social, and emotional skills needed in their adult lives.
