Maybe when we have our yearly frisbee meeting which will be coming soon, we
can elect someone to be in charge of youth frisbee functions. Kevin & I
would be more than willing to help run a few clinics, but someone else would
have to organize everything, maybe Guy would be interested. We taught some
cub scouts how to play at one point and kids under 8 or 9 just aren't quite
ready to throw a frisbee without killing someone with it, so I'd recommend
it be for kids 10 and up. We could have clinics for different age groups.
We could try to do something through the Albemarle Parks & Recreation so it
would be advertised in their flier. Just suggestions.
