JGRE Outside the Office and on the Field....Gridiron...Pool, continued

In addition, for five years Bill Ward has been the head coach of the 12-year-old NYO youth football teams. Most recently, he coached the Big Packers to a 4-4 season this past fall. Alan tested the coaching waters this year for the North Atlanta High School swim team. He took on the responsibility as a community high school coach for both the boys and girls swim team.  The team, still in its infancy, never had an experienced, knowledgeable coach. With Alan’s past experience as a colligate swimmer he lead the “warriors” to a very successful season.  The boys broke every school record this season, and for the first time in the school’s history scored points at the state swim meet, where they placed 11th overall. With such great improvement this past winter, Alan and the 45 boys and girls on the team are looking forward to a promising next year.

Volunteering for youth sports teams is just one of the ways JGRE gives back to the community. Their involvement is not only personally rewarding but it also creates even stronger relationships with the local community.
