“My name is Leysel Diaz and this is the first year that my daughter Leah Diaz and my son Leahndro Alonso (Leo) go to the after school program at Northdale Recreation Center. I have to tell you that I'm very impress with everything you all do for the kids and with the staff members. Everyone is

so nice and loving . My kids love to be there and they are extremely happy. I also love the idea that you all support inclusion because that makes the world better for our children to be able to accept, respect and love everyone around them without limits.

I have to tell you that my son is in love with Coach Elizabeth, he literally comes home talking about her and all the things they did together, she makes him feel important and care for and that I appreciate a lot. She is an awesome coach and her love and passion for the kids go above an be-yond, I see it every time I come in, she is always happy and encouraging. Always nice and sweet to the kids and at the same time know how to cor-

rect them with love and respect. You have an AWESOME lady right there.. ;).

They are ALL very nice and good to the kids, all of them in general are a great team , the young guys and girls are very respectful and responsible .Furthermore The football coaches are doing a great job. I love the passion for the football season.

Anything I could do to help out in any way please let me know.. its so comforting to know that our kids are in good hand.. Keep the good work and please let your staff know how much we appreciate them.”

On behalf of the National Alliance for Youth Sports board of directors and staff, we would like to congratulate the

Hillsborough Parks, Recreation, and Conservation Department for their outstanding dedication to youth

sports coach training. The volunteer based sports organ-izations overseen by your NAYS Chapter have once again trained more than 1,000 coaches during NAYS’ 2014-2015

fiscal year!

CONGRATULATIONS on a JOB WELL DONE to all of our Senior Games Co-ordinators. This was a super successful year, and it couldn’t have been exe-cuted if it weren’t for your hard work and dedication. Thank you TEAM!!!

AMAZING Job to all who participated in and arranged United Way’s “Day of Caring”!! We had an outstanding turn out at some of our Recreation Centers, and volunteers (and staff) truly went above and beyond to beautify our parks. Please let Tiffany Lerch know if you are interested in hosting a Day of Caring event at your site.

Good Luck to our Strong Dogs who are traveling to Jacksonville this weekend!
