Host a Sports Clinic

Hold a sports clinic for local kids. Partner with high school or college teams, or local celebrity athletes, to serve as mentors and instructors. Consider following the schedule of high school and college sports. In winter, host a basketball clinic; in fall, football or volleyball. In warmer months, consider baseball, soccer, swimming, track and field or other outdoor sports.
