Tribe Baseball volunteers with The Arc
| November 4, 2009The William and Mary Tribe baseball team reached out into the community on
October 20, participating in Fitness Night at The Arc of Greater Williamsburg.
15 Tribe student-athletes helped 40 members of The Arc engage in exercises and
baseball activities for two hours at St. Martin's Episcopal Church in
Williamsburg.
The evening
started with the Tribe players introducing themselves, and then discussed why
they love to exercise. After the discussion, the Tribe student-athletes and the
members of The Arc warmed up and participated in relay races, baseball skill
drills, and an indoor baseball game. In closing, the Tribe players talked about
the importance of developing healthy eating habits.
The Tribe baseball
team will volunteer again at The Arc on November 10, when more Tribe
student-athletes will again help out at Fitness night.
The Arc of
Greater Williamsburg provides community-based advocacy and activities to improve
the quality of life for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
