C-U SPECIAL RECREATION ACTIVITIES

C-U Special Recreation is an organization that provides 
leisure opportunities for persons with disabilities.  During 
the winter and spring they have many activites for 
participates to choose from that train them for the Special 
Olympics.  As a volunteer you will help train and encourage 
them.  Below is a list of activities that you can volunteer 
for.  All activities require weekly time commitments.

***Bocce Ball starts March 14 and is every Tuesday from 4:30-
5:30pm.  Transportation will be provided for this event each 
week!

***Aquatics runs now until March 26 and is every Sunday from 
7-8pm.  You are required to get in the water with the 
participants to help cheer them on!

***Bowling runs now until April 12 and is every Monday and 
Wednesday 4-5:15pm.  You can volunteer one or both of the 
days.

***Track and Field still needs coaches.  Practice is every 
Wednesday 6-7pm at the Armory.

There is a mandatory training session you need to go through 
next week.  Even if you are not sure if you want to 
volunteer for these events, I suggest going to a training 
session so you have the option of volunteering for C-U 
Special Rec later in the semester:)

Here are the training session times:

Monday (2/20) 1pm foodcourt in Union
Wednesday (2/22) 3pm RSO Complex
Thursday (2/23) 2pm RSO Complex
Thursday (2/23) 3pm RSO Complex

If you are interested in any of these events please email 
Brittany at bkwhite2 at uiuc.edu with which event you are 
interested in doing and what training session you can attend 
next week!
