Bob Bigelow, former NBA 1st-round draft choice, will discuss Adults and Children in Organized Youth Sports: Who Wins, Who Loses? Bob’s mission is to put the “youth” back in youth sports and find a balance at home and on the field. Too many youth sports systems meet the adults’ needs rather than kids’ needs and therefore create dispiriting sideline and “behind the scenes” behaviors and problems, and burned-out kids. Up to 75% of our kids drop out of youth sports by age 13!  Why, and how can we make sports better for them? Come learn new common-sense approaches for positive change in youth sports programs by one of the foremost lecturers in the country regarding youth sports. This lecture is co-sponsored by Parents Together and the Old Greenwich Riverside Community Center and will be held at the OGRCC. For more information visit www.parentstogetherct.org or www.ogrcc.com.
