“WHAT IS THE VALUE OF SPORTS?” A Panel Discussion

Reality check - What is the real value of sports? How can you help your child get the most out of sports at all levels and at all ages? How do you parent your student athlete, what helps, what doesn't? How do you manage their expectations, your expectations, and avoid burnout at an early age? The YWCA Parent Awareness Network has gathered a panel of experts on youth and high school sports: coaches, program directors, and former and future college athletes. Join them at the Darien High School Auditorium on Tuesday, March 30th from 7:00-9:00 PM.
