Here in Toronto we have gone on some very exciting
excursions but in this blog I would like to talk about my experience as a field
of play volunteer. As a field of play volunteer I am either stationed at the
training court or the competition court. On the training court there are two
teams practicing at a time. As a field of play volunteer I am responsible for
supplying clean towels, water, and powerade to the teams that are practicing. I
get to sit by the curtain dividing the teams that are practicing and make sure
the basketballs don’t cross over to the other side. On the training court I
enjoy watching the teams practice and the different drills they do. It’s
interesting to watch how teams from other countries interact with each other.
On the
competition court I get to sit behind the basket and sweep the court during
time outs and between quarters. I really enjoy working on the competition court
because I get a perfect seat for the game! Being on the competition court is
exciting because you get to watch the players interact with each other and
their coaches during the game. My favorite part about working with the field of
play is getting to watch the teams transition from practice to competition. I’ve had the opportunity to personally watch
the teams on their journey here at the Parapan Am Games and I am very thankful
for this opportunity!
