Coaches and buddies are needed.  Anyone age 12 and up can be a EPIC buddy!

  • A buddy can accompany a player on the field.  A buddy must accompany a player in a wheelchair and propel the player safely and watch for other players.

  •  A buddy can help monitor for signs of fatigue, stress, or other situations that may compromise their safety.

  • A buddy can be a supporter and a friend.
