What does the KRA mean to you / why is the KRA important to you?

My wife and I hope to have children who one day will want to join recreational activities close to home, and for that we need the KRA!

U9 Softball Coach

While this is his first time coaching, Jon has a passion for working with children. This year, he and his wife Manon, are volunteering to coach the U9 softball team together. When asked what he enjoys most about coaching, he said he loves seeing the team laugh and bond through play. 

Fun fact: Jon knows the names of almost all 900 Pokémon!

What does the KRA mean to you / why is the KRA important to you?

KRA has given me an opportunity to coach local children and provided all the resources necessary to do so. I would not be able to do this without their help.

U9 Softball Coach

This is Manon’s first year coaching! Sports were a big part of her childhood, and she has many great memories of being on teams. This year, she saw there was a high need for coaches in our area, and having recently found a love for softball, wanted to bring that love for the sport to our community. Knowing most of the children have had to go a few years without sports, Manon wanted to ensure all the teams had coaches so that all the kids can play this summer. She loves being able to give the players an opportunity to work in a team, meet new friends, and play a sport they enjoy!
Fun fact: Manon is also a local volunteer firefighter at the Keswick Ridge Fire Department!
