Volunteers rock the Boise Noon Optimist Club Football Program

For 61 years, the Boise Noon Optimist Club has brought youth football to the community. They also built and manage a multi-million dollar youth sports complex. It is the largest football and cheer program coordinated entirely by volunteers - over 300 of them.

Coaches work weekly, sometimes daily with the children. When they sign on, they accept a four-year commitment to work with the team. Optimist Club members work non-stop as well from fundraising to concession stands, site maintenance and coaching themselves.  It is a remarkable program. Something that happens every week that looks like a lot of fun is line painting.  Enjoy the pictures of the line painters who get together every week to ready the fields for play.



Thanks to Walt Callahan, Boise Noon Optimist Club Bulletin Editor for the pictures.
