Mayor outlines Clay Youth Sports plan, calls for volunteers and local leadership
Summary
The mayor presented a community-run Clay Youth Sports structure prioritizing kids, commissioners for each sport, coach training, a parks & rec oversight board and volunteer recruitment to sustain local leagues.
The mayor opened the Play Sports Town Hall in Clay and presented a community-led plan for Clay Youth Sports, emphasizing a "kids-first" organizational chart and the need for local volunteers to staff commissioners, coaches and a parks & rec board. "As your mayor, my job is to serve you," the mayor said, framing the program as part of broader efforts to support family well-being.
The proposal would place players at the top of the chart, create a commissioner for each sport with two assistants, and add a part-time administrative support role for the athletic director. The mayor said volunteer applications are available in print and online and stressed that the city will require background checks for volunteers. He invited community members to apply and help build a consistent, year-to-year structure for youth leagues.
