PLAY TRAVERSE CITY + YOUR ORGANIZATION?

What is Play Traverse City?

Play Traverse City is a community of individuals and organizations that care about increasing opportunities for play, physical activity, and movement in partnership with schools in Northern Michigan’s capital.

Why Play Traverse City?

Like pencils, crayons, and other school supplies, recess/rec-time supplies (such as balls, jump ropes, hula hoops, and sidewalk chalk) are essential for elementary schools.

Despite the best efforts by PTOs, some schools struggle to keep supplies on the playground.

Play Traverse City aims to build a community to help fill this gap.

Current Participating Schools:

• Central Grade School

• Central High School

• Long Lake

• TCAPS Montessori

• West Middle

All Traverse City schools are welcome to participate.

Play Traverse City + Your Org Partnership:

1. Your org adopts one (or more) schools above

2. Your org purchases supplies from the school’s wishlists

3. Your org staff and Play TC coordinator deliver supplies to the school

4. Repeat next year (hopefully)

⚽️🏈🏐🏀🤼‍♀️🎿Coach Traverse City is a new community of quality adults who help coach youth elementary school-based sports in Northern Michigan's capital.

Why Coach Traverse City?

Many school-based elementary spots are coached by parents of kids who play.

Sometimes, parents cannot coach because of work/family/other commitments.

Teams have been canceled recently because there hasn't been anyone to coach.

Coach Traverse City aims to build a community of quality coaches who can step in to coach when needed.

How does Coach Traverse City work?

1. Sign up to volunteer below by selecting the school, sport, and age you'd like to coach.

2. We'll contact you when a school-based coaching need arises that fits your preference. Coaches that match the need can accept or decline the offer. If you accept, we'll connect you with the school sports coordinator.

3. Coach, have fun, teach skills, and make a difference in our kids' lives.
