Three years ago I filled in as coach for the C level volleyball team in our Special Olympics delegation. I hadn’t taken the certification course or test for the credential, but none of the team’s coaches had. We are volunteers who were there in the time of need.
Flash forward three years, and the delegation head says he’d like me to take the course and certify for volleyball so I can be the coach of the C level team. I agreed. I took the course. But I haven’t taken the test, yet.
At our first practice yesterday, a long-time volunteer with the delegation is there with a friend who “is going to coach the team.” Now I’m twice as confused because the long-time volunteer has recently revived a delegation she had started in 1999 and let lapse. I’m wondering why she’s at our practice instead of her own delegation. And I’m wondering why she’s brought a person to coach.
I think our head of delegation forgot he’d asked me to certify and coach. Oh, well.
