What up fellas?!  I want to post a message about this Youth sports league that I am helping out with to see if I can get some help for the new basketball league. 

Its called the CCSL, is a non-profit organization and it stands for Chaldean Church Sports League.  Its a sports league that was started to bring Youth Chaldeans back to our Churchs.  it was started this year with boys football and girls volleyball.  Its organized in such a way so that every Chaldean Church in the metro area comes up with a team and the teams play each other on a weekly basis.    The football and Volleyball season ended about 2 or 3 weeks ago and an article will be out in the Chaldean News about it.  Towards the end of September the basketball season will start and help is needed to coach and referee the games.  Games will be played on Saturday or Sunday for a couple of hours.  For the football season I had a bunch of guys form the CFL come out and help out, which worked out great. 

Now what we are looking for are a couple of different kinds of volunteers.  The first is someone who is willing to be a coach for one of the Churchs.  Any one of the five, St Thomas, Mother of God, Mar addai (oak Park) and Sacred Heart combined (7mile), St. Joseph, and St George.  This will require the most time since you will have to be there on game days, one practice during the week and resposibilities of contacting the players, game strategies and general team and league responsibilities.  Now its is some work but we try to get 2 coaches per team to help take the load off.  It isnt easy but it is very fun and fulfilling to help out our own kids.  The second Volunteer is a referee.  All this person has to do is show up on game days, ref and be reliable.  The last volunteer is a general volunteer that can come to the gym and help out with set up, scorers tables, concessions, clean up, etc.

Now if you choose to help out then it is a responibility like anything else, of course being out of town and things like that are not a problem.  I would rather hear I would help but I dont have time (which I hear from everyone) than have anyone say they will do one of the options and not show up.  Again the season will be starting in about a month and will run til about mid december.  There will be a boys and girls team so if anyone has any sisters, cousins or friends (girls) that would like to help please let me know.

If there are any questions call me, email me or reply to this post.  Thanks
