Covington Family YMCA 

Buddies will be paired with our adaptive athletes to help guide them through different sports-related activities and provide verbal and emotional support. No sports expertise is necessary for this role, just patience and positivity. Activities will be conducted on Legion Field or in the old Theme School Gym behind the Board of Education- Both are within walking distance of the Covington YMCA. This program will take place on Tuesday evenings, 6pm-7pm, from March 18th through April 29th. We will not meet the week of April 7th, for Newton County Spring Break. There will be a voluntary Buddy training on Tuesday, March 11th for all buddies. All volunteers will be required to complete a Youth & Teen Safety online course and a background check.
