The Amador Valley High School Athletic Boosters is hosting the East Bay Regional Special Olympics Track and Volleyball tournaments for the third consecutive year next Saturday, May 6.
Volunteers are needed to assist athletes and run the events during the day by staging the athletes, scoring events, timing, giving awards, serving lunches and setting up and taking down event materials and booths. The event requires approximately 250 volunteers.

Lunch will be provided for all athletes and volunteers.

I am very proud of all the players.”
