Boosters Corner
Being a member of the Medina Athletic Boosters always has its perks. With limited ability to attend games and matches during the pandemic, the Boosters have had to find new ways to acknowledge our members. Last month, the entire Boosters executive board personally delivered gifts to our Silver, Gold, and Elite members courtesy of Amy Hoes and Howard Hanna. Members received Medina Bees-themed Tervis tumblers, blankets, or stadium seats depending on their membership level.
The 2020-21 Winter Sports Programs will be available soon. If you are interested in securing a program to commemorate this winter’s teams, please contact your student-athlete’s coach or parent representative. Any other details about the program will be updated on the Boosters website at medinaboosters.org or on Twitter @MedinaBoosters.
Finally, our boys’ lacrosse team was the latest group of Medina High School student-athletes to go through the course from Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) entitled Making Teammates Better: Leadership and Positive Initiation. The workshop provides a deeper view into how teammates can help each other improve, one of the three key components in PCA’s original workshop for student-athletes, Becoming A Triple-Impact Competitor. Later this month, the Medina fastpitch players will be participating in the same workshop. The Medina Boosters' involvement with the Positive Coaching Alliance is made possible by Medina Excavating.
