Due to overwhelming interest, DYS has extended the deadline for submissions to be featured in OVERTIME.
Calling all volunteer youth coaches, team moms and dads, commissioners and athletic directors! The City of Birmingham Mayor’s Office Division of Youth Services (DYS) wants to salute current Birmingham youth coaches who work “overtime” by volunteering time beyond their full-time jobs to Birmingham youth. Whether it’s football, baseball, basketball, track and field, cheerleading, golf, soccer, etc., we want to celebrate all of the men and women who take time out to put “Youth First” in athletics!
Volunteer coaches are the backbone of youth sports. Their dedication to the youth in their community is vital to teaching sportsmanship, teamwork, and fitness. DYS will recognize these role models in OVERTIME, a special publication spotlighting those that are deeply committed to fulfilling all responsibilities that come with coaching. DYS will also provide a small token of appreciation for their service and commitment.
Participating coaches should meet the following criteria:
• You are a coach, team mom or dad, commissioner, or athletic
director of a youth sports team
● Your athletic team plays within the Birmingham city limits
• Your team members are 18 years old and/or younger
Want to be featured in OVERTIME? Coaches are asked to submit the form and a headshot by 5 p.m. on Friday, November 1, 2013 for inclusion. Forms should be emailed to dysbhm@gmail.com or delivered to DYS at 1608 7th Avenue N. Please call (205)320-0879 to confirm receipt of your submission.
