We have little town gatherings like Bobstock, have the whole gym filled with parents and fans for every sport, and country fairs. But, a little bit unlike other small towns, we are extremely diverse and could use something bigger to help, develop, and benefit our community as a whole.

Organized team sport gained attention and importance as early as the late 1800’s with the influence of Luther Halsey Guick.

The Deaf community strongly advocates for a signed language as a first language, viewing their deafness as part of the “variability” of the human condition and not as a disability. However, it appears unfair to deaf children to also isolate them from the speaking community by not at least attempting
