AS GRANDPARENTS OF A CHILD WITH DOWN SYNDROME WHO
PARTICIPATES. IN THIS LEAGUE, WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE TIME, EFFORT,
MONEY AND OPPORTUNITIES THIS HAS OPENED UP FOR HER. SHE LOOKS
FORWARD TO HER GAMES EACH WEEK, TO MEET HER FRIENDS WITH SPECIAL
NEEDS, TO PARTICIPATE IN A SPORTING ACTIVITY JUST AS OTHER CHILDREN
HER AGE DO, AND TO GET SOME MUCH NEEDED EXERCISE. SPECIAL-NEEDS
CHILDREN OFTEN DON’T GET SUCH OPPORTUNITIES. WE HOPE THE
THE COMMUNITY WILL RECOGNIZE HOW SIGNIFICANT AN ACHIEVEMENT THIS IS.
