Coach Matt Parke is the head Men’s Basketball Coach for Averett University. His job is to inspire a team of young men. Every year he encourages the entire team to sign up to be “Bigs”. Coach follows up with the BBBS to make sure that each volunteer visits the school and sees their “little” regularly.
In addition, the coach visits his little, Elijah at Forest Hills School. Coach is very adamant about keeping up with what the child has been up to and his progression in school. Both enjoy basketball, so a lot of their conversation is about the game and other sports. They have been matched for almost three years.
Coach Parke is doing an outstanding job at inspiring older and younger people to do great things. Way to go Coach!
