Fall Community Ed After-School Activities
We will begin Strategy Games Club, Chess Club, Boys Soccer, Girls Tennis, and Coed Ultimate Frisbee the week of September 16. Volleyball will begin October 28.
After-School Coaches Needed
Community Ed is in need of coaches for our upcoming Fall after-school sports. We are currently hiring coaches for Tennis, Soccer, Ultimate Frisbee, and Volleyball. We like to have one coach per 10 students, and we pay $30/hr. The program runs 1.25 hrs per day Mon-Thursday from 2:30-3:40 pm. You DO NOT need a lot of experience in coaching. This program is not competitive and it is a great opportunity for kids to try out a sport. If we don't have coaches we cannot run the program.
If you are interested in finding out more about coaching, please contact our Community Ed Coordinator, Deb Fjeld at deb.fjeld@moundsviewschools.org. Thank you for your consideration.
