The program’s mission statement notes that the league emphasizes skills, fundamentals, sportsmanship and fun, and states that the main goal of this program is to have fun. Program details specify that participants in volleyball play on elementary high nets and use softer volleyballs, that everyone is guaranteed to play an equal amount of time because substitution is on rotation, and that the program does not keep score and states that nobody wins or loses. The program description notes that a cooperative effort involving parents, coaches, referees and Wheaton Park District staff is required to achieve goals and objectives, that volleyball coaches are asked to keep their comments on game day to a minimum to lower the level of intensity on the court, and that parents, spectators and coaches are asked to show good sportsmanship and offer only positive reinforcement.
The leadership team for Wheaton Park District Athletic Leagues & Youth Sports Programs includes Adam Lewandowski, Director of Athletics Programs & Facilities; Darrell Houston, Athletic Manager; Troy Clements, Athletic Manager; Rory Conroy, Athletic Manager; Cody Nelson, Superintendent of Athletics Programs & Facilities; and Alex DiSerio, Superintendent of Athletics Programs & Facilities. Community involvement information states that volunteers must complete a Volunteer Application & Background Check Waiver, and that volunteers are mandated reporters under the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act [325 ILCS 5/4], which requires them to report or cause a report to be made to the Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline at 1-800-25-ABUSE (1-800-252-2873) whenever there is reasonable cause to believe that a child known to that volunteer in their professional or official capacity may be abused or neglected.
