Parents of school athletes all know how much time it takes from their children’s studies and social life to play a sport competitively. But often, little is said about the coaches and trainers who contribute, without complaint, the hundreds of hours needed to bring out the best in our kids. This picture exemplifies the dynamic of coaching to players to bring out the best possible result. The Sooke EMCS AAA Boys won the South Island AAA Championship Tuesday night, the first time Sooke has won this title. Coach Trevor Bligh and his staff have been volunteering season after season, and it has brought out a desired result. Thank you coaches and volunteer staff for all you do to enhance our kids life experiences, day after day, year after year. Glenn Dickie, parent
