Community Matters: Step to Establishing a Sense of Community in Teams and Clubs
In this hour-long, live webinar we will discuss:
Dr. Eric Legg is an associate professor in the School of Community Resources & Development at Arizona State University, and an affiliate faculty of the ASU Global Sport Institute. His research explores the question of how organizations use sport experiences as a means for youth and community development. Within that umbrella, he has examined the role of recreational sport in creating a sense of community, parent and fan behavior in sport, best practices in coaching and youth development, and best practices for sport volunteers. He has worked with numerous sport and youth development organizations including Soccer Parenting Association, Positive Coaching Alliance, the Utah Jazz, Boys & Girls Clubs, local parks and recreation departments and more.
