PSA video contest!! DEADLINE: May 30

IOM/NRC Play It Safe! Video Contest

Sports teach valuable lessons - about teamwork, goals, leadership, and how to handle defeat and learn from mistakes. One lesson many are still learning, though, is when not to play. A recent Institute of Medicine (IOM) and National Research Council (NRC) report finds that as many as 1.6 million to 3.8 million sports- and recreation-related concussions and other traumatic brain injuries are reported each year in the United States. Some youth athletes don't tell anyone they have been hurt because they want to keep playing. And players may resist taking all the time they need to heal, with or without teammates', parents', and coaches' backing. The IOM/NRC "Play it Safe" video Public Service Announcement contest invites youth ages 13-22 to create a 30- to 60-second video about how they can change a sports culture that may encourage "shaking it off" and getting back in the game, and how they can get their teammates, coaches, and parents to recognize the signs, symptoms, and need for proper treatment of concussions. Entries will be accepted through May 30. Winning entries in each of three school-age categories will be awarded a $300 gift card. More information and official rules and regulations can be found at www.iom.edu/PlayItSafe. For more information, please contact YouthSportsConcussions@nas.edu.

SAVE DUVAL SPORTS “WRESTLING”

BOWL-A-THON

@ BOWL AMERICA

10333 San Jose Blvd. Jacksonville FL

When: October 01, 2011

Promptly @ 12:00 noon

How this works:

All 16 schools will build a team of 15 people.  Each participant will bowl two games at a cost of $20.00 (Shoes Free!!!).  Schools can have as many bowlers as they want but must have a minimum of 15.  Each bowler will pledge an amount to be used to calculate their donation to be paid based on their individual score per game.  Each bowler can bowl as many additional games as they would like at a cost of $10 per game. At the end of each game the bowler calculates their donation based on their score times their pledge.  The value of the game is then placed in their respective canister.

Remember, this is a fundraiser for saving the sports that are getting cut because of the budget short fall, so please show your support.

MONEY THAT IS RAISED GOES TO:

“SAVE DUVAL SPORTS WRESTLING”

For those that can not participate in the Bowl-A-Thon you can come by and make any donation toward the “SAVE DUVAL SPORTS”

Jaime Horn Memorial Softball Scholarship - did you play? $$$!!!!

Description:
The scholarship application asks some fairly basic questions (what age division did you play in? what colleges were you accepted at? why do you deserve this scholarship?) that need short answers, it requires a letter of recommendation from a person who “has influenced your life”, and, if you have one handy, it will probably be a good idea to attach a resume along with your application.
