Speaking to Local Communities

Bob is a sought-after speaker for a wide variety of community-based youth sports groups, including:

Local leagues affiliated with national organizations, parks & rec associations, YMCAs and YWCAs, Boys and Girls Clubs, PALs, community centers, church leagues, agency youth leagues, parent/school education groups including PTAs and PTOs

Bob helps the adults who are involved in youth sports to keep their involvement focused on meeting the needs of ALL the children that they are there to serve.

We need to meet the needs of ALL children in youth sports
We must recognize the cost of elite travel teams
We need to avoid practices that discourage late-blooming athletes
We as adults must not compete with one another through our children
We must ensure coaches and administrators are qualified and trained to work effectively with kids
And Other Critical Needs in Youth Sports

~ Aaron Vittone, Pittsfield, MA
