PARENTS AS VOLUNTEERS
First, thank you for your enthusiasm and support! We are glad you want to be part of enriching our athletes experience during sports education events. Our expectation is that you will participate in a capacity you feel would benefit all athletes and allow your child to fully engage in each activity with the other camp participants and volunteers. This is a setting that allows athletes to meet others and connect with students who have different forms of vision loss.

If you have a specific skill set in a sport, we would love to utilize those skills in any way possible. If you do not wish to volunteer, we still encourage parents to participate in the cameo by dropping off their athlete, touring the facility and attending the competitions and award ceremony.

Please complete the attached document and submit a background check either by email or hard copy as soon as possible. Background checks are needed for overnight staff ONLY.

NOTE: A background check will need to be completed each year.


How to access a background check:

ALL VOLUNTEERS MUST HAVE SUBMITTED A BACKGROUND CHECK PRIOR TO CAMP TO MobaleSports@gmail.com

Got P.E.?

One of the barriers we hear most is related to accessing physical education classes for students with visual impairments. Do you have questions? Does the teacher at your local school have an interest in engaging students who are blind or visually impaired more?

Reach out to us! We want to assist in any way we can to encourage full participation in a variety of physical activities, health and wellness training for your student!!
