We are all set for a final week rush of entries. The Ventura Club and the Lake
Casitas
Recreation Area Staff are working to have the course in the best shape that they
can for us.
Geotel is putting up $100 for the 1st ace on #15!
Greg Koppel is willing to spot and help the event.
DISC has several irons in the fire. As we prepare for the Fling IX, we are also
readying for
the Elysian Park meeting - the committee has agreed to vote to either for or
against the
Chavez Ridge DGC that has been designed for Elysian at thier June 1st meeting.
Wish us
luck!
Also, DISC's Summer Program with LAUSD will be on again this summer. The
details have
yet to be ironed out, but here is some info:
- July 7th through August (in service training session on Sat morning June 18th
also)
- weekday afternoons
- $13 to $16 per hour
- you have to get hired on as an LAUSD employee (visit office, DOJ screening, TB
test -
these hoops need to be hopped through)
- at least 2 afternoons a week (4 or 5 hour shifts)
- 2 person teams (usually 2 or 3 schools per day)
- South Youth Services office is in Gardena and the schools are in that quadrant
(from
downtown out to the beach)
You will work with the kids and their playground coaches on basic disc skills,
covering
throws and catches, disc golf and ultimate. The culminating tournament
(probably in Sept
or Oct) will be an Ultimate tournament that will also feature Eagle - a putting
game.
Look - we have 4 years of disc sports experience with the kids and coaches of
these
specific schools and the skill level has increased amazingly each year. If you
are
interested in teaching disc sports - here is your chance. You should be able to
free up at
least two afternoons each week to participate.
Contact Cliff Towne at ctowne@... or 323-574-7678 ASAP if interested.
Get your friends to come play the Fling IX in Ventura on Sat. June 4th! Have
people call or
email me prior to sending in their entries.
Thanks, Cliff
