After over 11 years volunteering his time to teach kids about the game he loves, Ron Stork is being told this year that he is not needed as a coach for Olympia JFL. We’ve been told that some of your kids choose to play because Ron coaches. To our knowledge, Olympia JFL does not have a Board of Directors so the decision about coaching rests with one person. That one person simply texted Ron and has not returned Ron's calls asking for an explanation. We don’t know how else to let that one person know that the parents and players want Ron to coach. Ron isn't asking to be the head coach or step on any one's toes. In fact, he has never asked to be the head coach of a team, but has volunteered to do so when no one else wanted that job. Ron simply wants to volunteer his time to teach kids football and share his love of the game. Please help us make sure he is able to do so this season. We would greatly appreciate your signature on this petition or even a text or call to Chris Durham at 309-449-6565. This year has been filled with change for our kids . . . This doesn’t have to be another change! Thanks!

We started olympia jfl with ron coaching...jacob wasn't sure about playing many times and ron has been a great positive influence on him. Hes tough when he needs to be, but encouraging all the time. My son loves to play any sport with Ron coaching.

Ron is an amazing coach. My son didn’t want to play in the past but now that he knows that Ron is coaching he wants to play football. Ron has coached him in baseball 2 years, he is a great coach, parent, and part of our community. Let the kids choose who they want as their coach!

Ron is absolutely great with the boys. He teaches them to want to play their best for their team, wherever they are needed, besides showing them the basic skills and plays. He always calls out encouragement to the boys. I have never heard him belittle anyone as I have heard Coach Doug who coached last year do! Ron is a Christian man who played high school football. He loves the game and knows a lot about how to play effectively and not get hurt doing it! Please let Ron continue to share his knowledge and love of football with these boys as he has done for over 10 years. JFL should know it needs him.

As someone who has worked alongside Ron this summer, while teaching some of those same young boys the fundamentals of baseball, I can attest to how amazing of a coach he is not only to be taught by, but also to work with.

Brody is not sure he wants to play if his dad isn’t coaching . . . Terrible spot for a 10 year old to be in!
